Sorry, but i don't see GoNE reinstating old 27A route back. Busy part between Fire Station to Town Centre is where 27 goes now. That would mean loss for Nexus who run's both 27X & 515.
I think could be wrong but GoNE had dropped 27A due to low demand & 20mins is too long to wait
. What we do need is to reinstating 87 back but to extend to Eldon which would help with 27 every 30minsfollowed by 87 to 30 mins.
