As a matter of fact, there is!
Liam is currently tinkering and doing all of the work behind the scenes to complete the system. To make the Bygone Era more appealing to our younger audience, we're amalgamating the news system and photos system with the Bygone Era.
Instead of having just a complete list of files, users will be able to filter downloads by year and see a snapshot from that year. Users will also be able to search for 'tags' - in relation to Go North East, let's say 'Durham Road'. Files, news and photos can all be 'tagged', so all of this will be joined together, and on paper, create a timeline for 'Durham Road', so you'd be able to see all the timetables for the 21 (and its predecessors) over the years, and see news stories regarding any buses allocated to the 21 (and its predecessors) over the years. It's a long term project with no definitive timescale on when it will be completed, but we're hoping to allow users to do more of the work too, submitting their own files, doing their own tags, etc. This would then go through to the site's moderation team to approve (like the news).
Part of Liam's tinkering replaced all of the news article photographs in our system. I'm currently going through all of the articles again to re-add the photographs.
