A personal message from North East Buses -

It is with deep regret that we have lost a valued contributor to The Bygone Era today.

Yesterday evening, it became apparent that the photos we were hosting in The Bygone Era belonged to other bus enthusiasts. Our member who donated the photos insisted that they were from a bought collection he has owned for many years.

This put the Forum Team in a very difficult situation, and eventually we chose to remove all photos from the site. Our member who donated these photos was not pleased with this decision, which we can appreciate; and he subsequently asked us to remove all of his content from the site, with which we duly complied. As such, The Bygone Era has now been hidden until a time when his content can be removed. When the section goes live again, all of the original timetable PDF’s that were supplied by myself will continue to be available.

It is very unfortunate that there are people out there who take utmost delight in taking peoples photos without permission and sell them on to innocent people. We are saddened that we have lost such a valued member today because of people who steal.

We hope you can appreciate the difficult situation that this put us in yesterday; and we apologise for any inconvenience caused.

At this time, we’d like to thank all members for their continued support of North East Buses. We’ll always strive to rise above challenges such as these and continue to provide members with the site that they want and the ability to express themselves in forums they can feel a valued part of.

Best regards,

The Forum Team (North East Buses)
