I think this one would be better off as a forum feature for now, as this will easily allow all members of the forum to share their own archived content. Even if others don't have much of an interest, you could continue with the venture yourself on a blog, for example?

The new "Treasures from our Archives" feature on the news page works similarly, but it only looks at actual news content previously submitted for that month in years gone by. The news content is linked to the fleet archive, so we wouldn't really be able to include random photographs in the "Treasures from our Archives" section as it would be shown as news.

I'm still plodding on adding archived fleet information to the new system (I've just completed Go North East's 7092 and 7093 today). By the time we have everything for Go North East, Arriva and Stagecoach in the new system, there'll always be a nice variety of content shown under the "Treasures from our Archives" section. Some enthusiasts have been around taking photos for a very long time so you'll see that some of the photos on the older articles are from the same person(s), but I do try my best to pick good quality photos from different people.

It is definitely something I am going to be doing on a weekly basis on this thread, and I would like other members to participate also and hopefully generate discussions on various items members have listed for each week.

I am looking forward to seeing the new Bygone Era as I used that a lot to come with my Service Suggestions, and the new features to the site are certainly a welcomed addition as I often look through old photos of Buses from the past in there various liveries on Flickr.
