Hamilton Transit History

Unibus/Van Hool 625 (CCL #111)

Canada Coach Lines owned a single Unibus/Van Hool 625, used as an airport shuttle between the Rebecca St Bus Terminal, the Royal Connaught hotel on King St East, and the Hamilton Airport. I've not been able to find out anything more, such as origin, year of purchase, etc.

Some of the dates for these photos are unknown, and the locations are often just a guess. If you know either date or location, email me!
