I never depart from West Harbour, but occasionally I catch a train home that ends there. I think the 4:00 & 4:30 trains from Union go to West Harbour, which gets you into Hamilton just before 6:30p.
On a side note, I took a break from commuting for about 8 months, and in that time the number of Toronto bound people I see at the Go station in the mornings has infinitely grown.

I've never fully bought the commuter thing. It costs about $400 a month to take the Go to Union, daily. You cannot park near the station, so you need to be walkable to it, or bus down.
If you are a renter and work in Toronto, it is cheaper and easier just to rent in Toronto and take the TTC. If you are a family, easier to buy in Mississauga/Burlington/Oakville and drive to a station.
West Harbour is a Political station, with little long term practical merit. Hunter at least can shove people to downtown Hamilton for work long term. The two stations are 1.5KM apart, look at the push back there is on Vaughn when they are putting in a second station up there since they are so close.
