Up until 2010 the 356 ran from Newcastle-North Shields via Gosforth high street-South Gosforth-Longbenton-Four Lane Ends-West Moor-Killingworth Bus Station-East Bailey-Backworth-Shiremoor-New York-Billy Mill-North Shields then in 2010 it was re-numbered to the 56 along with alot of other routes,it remained the 56 until 2012 when the service was withdrawn,it was the replaced with the X6 which ran a totally different route along with the X6A which ran from Newcastle-Killingworth Bus Station-the services only lasted a year until 2013 which is when it became its current setup
