BUS times on more than 40 services will be changed this weekend.
Go North East is planning minor revisions on routes in County Durham and Tyne and Wear, mainly because of increasing traffic congestion.
It says the changes, which are effective from Saturday, were designed with input from bus users and are expected to improve the reliability and efficiency of many journeys.
The services affected are: 21, 21A, 21B, 35, 35A, 36, 45, 46, 46A, 154, 160, 161, 163, 183, 185, 186, 187, 188, 220, 222, 291, 391, 392, 493, 551, 721, 723, 725, 726, 777, 775, 778, 709, W4, W5, W6, X2, X6, X8, X61, X64 and X95.
Details will be displayed on buses and comprehensive timetable guides will be distributed within affected areas. Information is available from the firm's website www.simplygo.com or by ringing its customer services on (0845) 6060 260.
The firm recently raised some fares by between 2p and 10p, single, and between 5p and 25p, returns.
