Tuesday 8 September 1992 (approx. 1400) – Acadian Lines 919 on the loading ramp at the company’s terminal in Sydney (Nova Scotia) ready to work the 1415 ‘all stops’ service from to Halifax trip 54 – a journey of approx. 270 miles taking 7 hours 35 minutes. The coach was an MCI MC8 Crusader, a secondhand acquisition which still carried the livery of a previous owner. Parcel carriage is a lucrative business for the inter-city coaches and the volume for this trip was quite substantial. (Ref 176-06)
