VIA has stations in Grimsby, Aldershot, Oakville and Brampton which also serve as Amtrak's Toronto-NYC route stops. VIA's stations seem to be set around 30 minutes apart on average. It's hard to imagine VIA launching service at James North without terminating it at Aldershot. Maybe a 1,700-vehicle parking facility would sweeten the pot.
VIA service to the James North Station ended in 1992. Aldershot GO opened that year, with
Burlington, Hamilton and Dundas VIA services grouped at that station.
GO train service to the James North Station ended in
February 1993. Hunter GO was opened in April 1996.
