Train station
You can take any bus leaving from Quai 1 in front of the train station, they all go up into the city centre (except 1, but I do not remember which one, I haven't taken a bus from the train station in 2 years, it's easiest to just ask when getting on if the bus stops at Hamilius) and drop you off at Centre Hamilius or Royal Quai 1-2.
