What is the bus for? The BBC Bus has arrived on Tyne and Wear! Every weekday the Bus will be out and about bringing broadcasting and free access to computers to your doorstep. So when you see it, step aboard. It doesn't matter if you've never used a computer before, we're here to help. You can send an email, take digital pictures or pursue your hobbies and interests over the world wide web. The BBC Bus is also about broadcasting on air and online. You can take part in a radio show, contribute to one of the many BBC websites, or just come and meet the team and say hello. Who's it for? You! Everyone's welcome. Will it cost me anything? No, there is no charge for using the computers or anything on the BBC Bus. How can I find out when it's coming?- Listen to BBC Radio Newcastle's Paul and Ian Show, weekdays from 10am-1pm
