I agree that it definitely doesn't make sense to make those stops in the Waterloo bound direction since you'd just take the 18 or go to West Harbour if you wanted a LW train but in the Hamilton bound direction it makes sense since those customers probably will want to grab a LW train without going into Hamilton to grab another bus back in the same direction they just came from. This whole problem stems from the fact that Hamilton is still getting the shaft on train service of course. If that problem ever improves, hopefully they can axe the Aldershot stop.
