The Grimsby route pretty much restores the old Canada Coach Lines Highway 8 local service, which continued under Trentway-Wagar/Coach Canada service into the early 2000s. It was discontinued around the time GO expanded bus routes into Niagara and Waterloo regions.

It only goes to Winona Crossing though, making it a long run into Downtown Hamilton; hopefully GO continues to run the 11 for that quicker run.

It continued much later than that. One time in 2014 when I was taking Coach Canada from Hamilton Centre to St Catharines terminal I inadvertently booked a ticket on a local trip. It was much slower than the QEW express trips though admittedly much more scenic.
