Two 98s (should be hourly) just passed through Selly Oak together

Was this at your time of posting? If so, that's very poor.

I was driving on my way home from work on Thursday around 23:30, there was one 98 by University Station heading towards City Centre, then another going up to the QE

Is there roadworks about on the 98 then? I know the running time is tight on the 98 but blimey!

There are only two buses on the 98, if they were both at Selly Oak together at 23:30 that would make one 40 min late and the other 20 early which seems a bit strange, perhaps there had been a change bus and one was an enhgineer on the way back to garage

But according to the timetable it isn't due to leave the QE until 2344?

One thing Daimler Mercedes Benz are good at is producing excellent Diesel engines, I do miss the sound of the 0405n for all its faults you couldn't knock that 12 litre engine.

The first one had dropped off/picked up passengers by University Station, the second one was going up the road to serve the QE

Diversion in Dudley is adding 5-10 minutes then there's the Wolverhampton diversion and then today the Tettenhall road was closed for a good while in the morning due to a fallen tree blocking the road all in all a right mess!

The 69 and 89 have been running quite late due to the Queen Square Closure.
