(07 Jul 2014, 3:21 pm)Andreos Constantopolous wrote Someone did mention it was named after the limestone quarries up towards Consett - I just pointed out there was no limestone anywhere on the route apart from the section east of Chester (you can see it at various points along the River Wear).

(07 Jul 2014, 3:30 pm)Robert wrote All be it fine. But, if you went up to a random person and asked them this question, they probably wont have a clue. Its not like the Angel or Diamond that isnt very discrete to work out where the brand name comes from (although with the Diamond, the name has been brought from the past so most people wont know). I know if i got asked this i would never be able to say it comes from a quarry.

(07 Jul 2014, 3:30 pm)cbma06 wrote The GNE Lime Brand came from the old Lime works (cant remember if it was in Stanley area or consett area, GNE did mention which area it was when their first branded the Lime service).

I would of thought GNE would of mentioned where their get the brand from in their dedicated section under the brands.

(07 Jul 2014, 3:35 pm)aureolin wrote Solar 4961 has been covering on the 4 today, and I've noticed the destination display at the front and rear doesn't display correctly. On the front, the number is crunched up and you can't really make out that it's a 4. On the rear, it looks like the top and bottom of the text has been cropped, but the number displays as it should on the front.

I've also noticed that 5325 still displays internal branding for the Red Arrows. In excess of two years after transferring to Silver Arrows duties.

General question about the Citaros on the 4. Are they air conditioned? As the windows haven't ever been locked?

(07 Jul 2014, 3:38 pm)Dan wrote I don't think they're locked on any Citaros now - the air conditioning only works when the vehicle is stationary.

(07 Jul 2014, 3:39 pm)aureolin wrote Is that standard across all Citaros?

(07 Jul 2014, 3:35 pm)Marcus wrote Perhaps some of the old folk would? A lot of people who have lived in an area for years always catch up on it's history - no doubt if you asked an old poppet on the 78 - 'ooh, my father used to work in a lime quarry!' Would be your answer.

Seeing as it's also known as the 'Lime Cycle' and the area has had a past with lime quarries, and the scientific term for the life cycle of Lime is the 'Lime Cycle', perhaps that would have something to do with it?

(07 Jul 2014, 4:19 pm)Robert wrote I suppose really, the brand only matters to Go North East. For all the general public care, a bus is a bus and as long as it gets them to where they want to go then thats fine. It really is a shame that the brand only allows the older generation of people to know what the connection is with the local area and the Lime brand. It would make a difference if the service was rebranded (even if it related to the service numbers rather than the local area like Fab Fifty Six/Seven) where people could easily work out the relation.

(07 Jul 2014, 8:34 pm)nk55 wrote Having searched google, all i can come up with for the " LIME " brand is the old stanhope to the coast railway path was built to ferry materials between the lime kilns in weardale & east castle ( nr greencroft ) to the coast ( sunderland ). The 78 follows as close as possible the old railway line from consett to stanley and lambton lion park to sunderland. The 8 follows as close as possible from stanley to waterview park and hastings hill to sunderland.

(08 Jul 2014, 2:47 pm)Michael wrote Info about the brand does not include 35A/B or C - the timetable box only has the 35 on

(08 Jul 2014, 3:07 pm)Robert wrote I think that they have done this on purpose but i cant think of a reason why. Also talking of mistakes:

http://www.simplygo.com/all-services/ten - only have services 10/10A in the service box and since when has the 11A been part of the 'TEN' brand?

(08 Jul 2014, 3:10 pm)Michael wrote Well that's daft, they should at least mention it.

I never even noticed the TEN ones.

(08 Jul 2014, 2:47 pm)Michael wrote Go North East need to look at their brand tabs and update them

Here is all the mistakes
