Probably could do it by dropping the 97 to every 30 minutes and interwork it with the 96 so it's every 15 minutes on the common section rather than them jumping all over each like they do now pretty much.
Didn't there used to a X97 that did that, there was the 97/97A/X97, think the 97A was previously the 98
