Very doubtful. VIA prefers their suburban station with massive parking. It's also located on the other side of the Bayview Junction, which allows the London/Windsor bound trains to shoot up the Dundas hill after Aldershot. If there was a station at James North again, they'd have to do a weird turn around thing since the station is located on the other side of the junction, opposite Aldershot/Oakville/Toronto. It would however work as a stop on the Toronto-Niagara Falls route if they eliminated the stop at Aldershot, though I can't see service levels warranting it, especially when GO makes the Niagara Falls train service permanent. I'd actually see VIA eliminating the entire route up to Niagara Falls and might see the existing VIA stations at Grimsby and St. Catharines converted to GO stations.
