BUS company Go North-East will reschedule some of its services to improve reliability.
The changes will affect services to and from Houghton-le-Spring, Washington and Chester-le-Street.
Go North-East said changes were necessary because of increasing traffic congestion in Gateshead and Newcastle.
As of Saturday, services X2, X4, X5, X15, X90 and X94 will be subject to minor timetable changes, mainly on Monday to Friday during peak hours, and there will also be changes to some Monday to Saturday daytime buses.
On X5, stops will be introduced at South Hetton Butcher's Arms and Broomhill Three Tuns.
Slight amendments are also being made to services from Washington to Heworth.
Services 194, 291, 292, 293, 294 and 393 will be subject to revised timetables.
A guide is available from the Travel Centre, in the Galleries bus station, in Washington. Passengers can also call (0870) 608 2608.
