BBC Humber Bus - life on the open road

There's a special bus on the roads of East Yorkshire and Northern Lincolnshire, giving you the chance to improve your computer skills and learn more about the BBC.

Computers have revolutionised how we work and play. Take your children or grandchildren for example. Most of them will use computers at school and are getting a head start in using computers.

Wouldn't it be great to understand what they are doing and be able to talk to them about what they are doing?

This is where the BBC Bus can help you. On board you’ll find a fully equipped computer room with six terminals.

Inside the BBC Humber Bus

Visitors are welcome to climb aboard the bus and learn how to use the internet under the guidance of qualified local tutors. Best of all, the tuition and computer usage is completely free.

All the tutors work in education across East Yorkshire and Northern Lincolnshire and join the bus on the days when it visits their area.

This means, if you want to carry on learning about computers after your visit to the BBC Bus you can find out what is available locally by asking the tutors on board.

So if you enjoy gardening or local history, we will help you discover the world of the internet via the BBC web sites.

The tutors will also show you how to use email, and then you’ll be able to keep in touch with any friends or relatives who live far away.

Visitors can also interact with the programmes on BBC Radio Humberside.
