Surely it would have been better to use a photo with a destination display for a location that the AD122 actually serves to avoid confusion for tourists visiting the area.

The one I can find on Go North East's website does not have any photographs at all.

(31 Mar 2015, 8:55 am)Adam wrote I know I'm speculating here, but if the official GNE website is saying the Streetlites are for "Lime", as opposed to "services 8, 8A, 78 and 78A", does this all but confirm that the brand name is going to be retained? In my view it's logical to assume so. We've all seen the base colour of the new Streetlites; exactly the same as the current base colour worn by the Renowns.

It's probably wrong because I always seem to be, but just my thoughts...

(31 Mar 2015, 8:57 am)aureolin wrote I'd hope it'd have the same stance applied to it as was for the Fab Fifty Six. Which was pretty much that it was a recognised brand, and it'd be daft to change it. 

The Lime has always been one of my favourite brands, so I'll be happy to see them branded up as such!

(31 Mar 2015, 10:02 am)cbma06 wrote The Black cat brand was ( im sure it was 26/26A/26C/36/36A/36C), different service numbers for the different variations on north side, then service 39 got extended from Sunderland to Pennywell, and service 26 only went from Sunderland to Heworth and service 36A and 36C did the circular routes around north estates.

(31 Mar 2015, 10:16 am)Michael wrote Think the 26A was the evening and Sunday service at first then just the 26?

Don't think there was a 26C.

After the 36A/C was changed, the 26 joined the showstopper.. while the 36A/36C were Northern.

Then all got changed, as they were replaced with the 29/29A, extended to Doxford.

Latest changes as we know, 35/35A/36 replaced the 29/29A in North Sunderland... 

Ill look properly later, in uni atm

(31 Mar 2015, 10:48 am)cbma06 wrote Just been looking through the black cats timetables of what I got:

26.36 November 06
26.36 July 06
26.36 May 07
26.26A.36 May 08
26.26A.36 March 09
26.26A.36 July 09
26.36A.36C October 09
26.36A.36C June 10
26.36A.36C March 11

The 26.36 November 06 timetable says revised Black Cats service. so their must be another timetable before November 2006, What year did the Black cats brand came out?. When I was living at Nookside at the time I remember when the 126 changed to the 26/36 series of numbers and I remember what a waste of bunch of numbers on the bus stops in the area.
