History

Route 56 was operating along its present arrangement when YRT inherited Newmarket Transit in 2001. It had a different number with Newmarket Transit, however. The only change to this route happened in September 2005, when route 520/521 was introduced, running along Gorham and Eagle. Frequency was reduced as a result.

Route 56 was declared fully accessible in December 2012.

The 2014 Annual Service Plan had service discontinued after 9:00pm on Saturdays and Sundays/Holidays.

Vehicles

Route 56 sees a mix of 30ft service provided by E-Z Rider II/BRT/MAX and 40ft service provided by New Flyer D40LF.
