Service 98 was introduced on July 22nd, 2012, to replace the previous limited stop X62 service between Birmingham Town Hall and Rubery. It follows the same route as the X62 from Rubery to Selly Oak (running as an all stops service, not limited stop) before leaving the Bristol Road at Harborne Lane, going on to serve Queen Elizabeth Hospital, University of Birmingham, Five Ways, Birmingham New Street railway station, Birmingham Moor Street railway station, and terminating at Colmore Row. Like the revised X64 route, the 98 does not use the previous terminus at Birmingham Town Hall.

Famous quotes containing the words current and/or routes:

    “Men perceive that equating love and domestic work is a trap. They fear that to get involved with housework would send them hurtling into the bottomless pit of self-sacrifice that is women’s current caring roles.”
    —Debbie Taylor (20th century)

    “The myth of independence from the mother is abandoned in mid- life as women learn new routes around the mother—both the mother without and the mother within. A mid-life daughter may reengage with a mother or put new controls on care and set limits to love. But whatever she does, her child’s history is never finished.”
    —Terri Apter (20th century)
