History

Aldershot opened in the early 1990s in order to relieve Burlington GO, and extend train service closer to Hamilton without the capacity restrictions on the track leading to Hamilton GO Centre. All-day train service was extended from Burlington in 2006 by utilizing extra layover time.

In 2011, a new fueling station opened at Aldershot, which allows the midday trains to refuel at the station while turning around. This eliminates the need for midday trains to be switched off in order to refuel at Willowbrook, and can stay out until the end of service.
