No idea what's changing with the 56 then.

The 56 had a timetable change from the 30th August which saw them introduced, but you're right in saying the addition of these journeys wasn't mentioned anywhere on the Arriva site - they did appear in the timetable on bustimes and I think the Arriva site too in early September but strangely have vanished, despite still operating!
