(02 May 2020, 4:39 pm)TEN 6083 Here’s my Flickr links to previous Go Northern / Go North East brands and services, not sure on dates as these were purchased from rallies.

Thanks! That seems to have worked - see below:

(02 May 2020, 5:11 pm)Adrian The @TyneFlashback feed is good- I've followed it for a short while now.

There's a few major differences IMO -
  • Scope is North East as oppose to Tyne and Wear
  • The intention of the Bygone Era is an archive/library - @TyneFlashback is a social media feed
  • The sharing of content on social media is an optional - its @TyneFlashback's core product
  • The Bygone Era is much more than just photos, e.g. https://northeastbuses.co.uk/bygone/inde...eYear=1994
That isn't to take anything away from what @TyneFlashback (and others for that matter) are doing. Their stats speak for themselves.

I agree.

I too have followed @TyneFlashback since its early inception, and really like their content. Their vast following in such a short period of time goes to show that there's a lot of appetite for historic content. We've been collating and sharing this content for a much longer period of time - years in fact - but we've never really been in a position where we've actively shared it. The Bygone Era is a great resource but nobody knows it exists, other than the regular users of this forum. The sharing of content on social media for us is nothing more than a promotional tool to raise awareness.
