With the reconstruction of the MacNab Terminal the western terminus of the route was relocated to the Hamilton GO Centre. Westbound buses would now turn left on James St S and then turn left into the Hamilton GO Centre using platform 18. Returning east the bus would turn left onto John St S and then right onto Main St E. The rest of the route remained unchanged. The 1A branch remained unchanged. Buses travelling east from McMaster University would remain on Main St and would not go into the Hamilton GO Centre. |
