Hybrid0920 Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 This is EX. HSR 8505. I always watch it going up the Clairemont Access from my balcony, it'd be lucky if it reached 10km going up. I'm wondering where they park it/service It. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm wondering where they park it/service It. I have almost always seen it at the location of the picture above (Hess/Cannon), and this is at all hours throughout the day and night. As for where its serviced, i dunno. Maybe just through the city at mountian or wentworth Link to post Share on other sites

A quick internet search would have revealed this: https://www.hamilton.ca/public-health/clinics-services/dental-health-bus The bus was replaced by a motor home type unit a number of years ago.
