Yes, people use the CS's because they are on the direct main roads that they want to take.
What's the old alternative route? I'm sure it's still there, but I don't know what it is.
I rode almost the CS7 route into central london before it was put in as it was the fastest route, and the most obvious. The CS's are sucessful because they go point to point from near the start of your trip to near the end of it, and the traffice flows that include the bikes have priority at most junctions on them (vs the side roads I mean).
