Acadian Lines 118 at Halifax, Nova Scotia - 7 Sep 1992 (Ref 173-19)

Monday 7 September 1992 (0755) – The driver of Acadian Lines 118, a 1989 MCI MC9 Crusader Special, attends to the loading of baggage and parcels at the company’s terminal at 6040 Almon Street, Halifax, Nova Scotia loading as the 0800 ‘all stops’ service from Halifax to Sydney (Nova Scotia) trip 53 – a journey of approx. 270 miles taking 7 hours 50 minutes. Unlike in Britain where the passenger personally took their baggage to the coach for loading at Acadian (and generally throughout Canada I believe) it was practice to ‘check-in’ baggage at a desk inside the terminal building. The baggage was then wheeled out to the coach for loading. (Ref 173-19)
