Changing Demographics

Yep, shopping centre?! There's Aldi, Wilko, Sainsbury's and Halfords on the side of a busy traffic island, why would anyone specifically go there as a shopping destination?! Most of that lot are in Northfield or King's Heath and numerous other places!

Yes, but for some people on the 19 route Maypole is closer. There are other shops there too, further up the Alcester Road.

There's more to a bus route than just travelling end-to-end.

Clearly not that many, given the level of subsidy required.

Haven't you ever noticed how many people go into a large supermarket, buy things and go straight home? The don't want to walk up an down a high street carrying their shopping. Just Visit the Maypole and you will see it is a very popular place

The 27 also enables those round Highters Heath and Chinn Brook to get to Maypole, which the 19 of course doesn't serve! Maypole is a busy place with the shops and also a few transfer from the 27 to the 50 or to the 49 as well.

Just come back from over 2 hours up there, believe me, that's plenty round there!

Frankly debating why people visit places is another can of worms altogether ! As long as their is demand in those regions, NX will continue to serve them
