The 99 never became the 241, it was the 244.
The 99 used to go all the way to Birmingham City Centre. It was split in 2017 with Birmingham to QE via University being covered by the existing 98 and rerouted X64, with QE to Halesowen being covered by the 244.
Today following service reviews last year what was the 99, is now the Platinum X20/X21/X22 from Birmingham City Centre to University Of Birmingham/QE Hospital (which then continues to Cofton Hackett/Woodcock Hill/Woodgate), a much improved service for that section and 19 from the QE to Halesowen which then continues onto Dudley.
241 was the old Dudley to Halesowen route.
Before the 99 it was the 636 as well, it was renumbered to 99 when the 98 was introduced initially in 2012 on the Birmingham to QE/University section.
Thanks for the correction. I think the 241 is now the 14
