“With schools closed for all except key workers and normal learning at a standstill, we wanted to go the extra mile and offer parents a helping hand.

“We know families can’t just hop on our buses and head to the city, seaside or countryside right now, so we’re bringing them into homes across the North.

“Parents can go onto our bus company websites at any time and download our Transdev Teach packs – we’ve made them printer friendly and easy to download and use.

“Already we have six different packs of materials to download from our websites, with more to come. starting with a chance to ‘Build Your Own Bus City’ – and we’ll give prizes to the best creations shared with us on social media, using the hashtag #TransdevTeach.”

The bus operator is also working closely with teaching experts to offer an ever-expanding selection of quizzes, word searches and factsheets, to encourage children to find answers and have fun at the same time.

The first subject is electricity – in honour of parent company Transdev’s pioneering Harrogate Electrics buses in the famous Yorkshire spa town.

Further packs in the Transdev Teach series will see youngsters finding out more about the world on their own doorstep – for example in Harrogate where the bus firm’s electric buses are at the heart of everyday life, families can follow a timeline all the way from the year 600BC to today to discover ‘A Shocking History of Electricity’.
