I'm pretty sure Ontario Northland goes to 610 Bay Street while the GO bus to Hamilton leaves from Union Station which is at Front Street (about a 15 minute walk).

You could consider the GO train to Hamilton too?

I find it easier with the PDF schedules:

http://www.gotrans...tBoard/Table16.pdf

You want a westbound bus to Hamilton from Toronto on a sunday, so you'd look at the last two tables on the last page. GO runs on the 24hr clock, so subtract 12 from any time over 12:59 (20:00 = 8pm, 21:00 = 9pm, 22:00 = 10pm, etc).

I'd say take the Hamilton Express from Union Station (the one I linked to above). You can buy your ticket at the GO bus terminal or in Union Station, or directly on the bus with cash (the driver can make small change, no 50's or 100's now ).

GO trains only goes to Hamilton Station during rush hour, and only 4 trains do. IIRC, everything else stops at Aldershot, and you can get to Hamilton from there via a GO bus.



Ontario Northland uses the Toronto Coach Terminal near Bay and Dundas, the Union Station bus terminal is down at Bay and Front, like Rob said a good 15-20 minute walk. You could take the TTC 6 Bay bus down, or the TTC Subway from nearby Dundas Stn to Union subway Stn, or walk it (avoid the underground PATH system, it's confusing for newbies).


Oh, if you're going to take one of the late buses, it might be a good idea to have someone waiting to pick you up when you get to Hamilton Station, safety and all.

Keep it fuzzy.
