The original B5306 ran along the whole length of Brunswick Road in Penrith, which at one time had the town's Ribble Bus Depot and Auction Mart along it.
With the opening of the M6 Penrith Bypass in 1968 many roads in the Penrith area were renumbered. The B5306 became part of the A592 on maps, although many signs have stated that it was part of the A6; indeed, for northbound traffic it is the only way through town. Brunswick Road was for many years after this a one-way street, being restored to two-way traffic in the 1990s.
