The only way to win is have 2 buses, a stopper and a faster express bus but then you will have complaints that the fast bus doesn't serve them etc.

It used to be the 27B ran to a 2 hourly schedule via Beggarmans Lane and Over Peover and the 27 ran to a 2 hourly schedule direct via the A537, with the exception being at peak times where the 27A operated. The 27A journeys didn't always follow the same route - there were some that followed the 27 route except with the AstraZeneca extension and others that followed the 27B route minus the Beggarmans Lane extension but plus the AstraZeneca extension!

I think going back to the days when Starline and Stevensons ran Macclesfield-Knutsford there was a 26 Macclesfield-Knutsford-Northwich which ran to a fairly direct route to Knutsford and that was interworked with a 27 Macclesfield-Knutsford which went a bit more round the houses.
