Residents say the 6pm eastbound Route 98 bus used to last 17 minutes and now takes up to 28. COMMENTS Bus journeys are taking up to 11 minutes longer following the pedestrianisation of Oxford Street, according to figures collated by local residents. Data compiled by the Marylebone Association using Bustimes.org suggests the delays could be much worse than originally predicted by Transport for London (TfL) during the consultation stage of the project.
