Aldershot is the western terminus of the Lakeshore West line train service in off-peak hours, with buses continuing on from here to Hamilton GO Centre and Brantford Bus Terminal. Six trains (four to Hamilton GO, two to West Harbour GO, in the peak direction) continue on to Hamilton during peak periods.
Aldershot serves Burlington and Hamilton on Via Rail's Quebec City-Windsor Corridor routes between Toronto and Windsor, and the joint Via-Amtrak Maple Leaf train, connecting Toronto and New York through Niagara Falls.
Burlington Transit bus route 1X Plains operates through this station, between Burlington GO Station and downtown Hamilton.Hamilton Street Railway bus route 18 Waterdown provides peak hour, weekday service to Waterdown.
The first railway station built here was originally named Waterdown, due to its location on Waterdown Road. The Canadian Pacific Railway constructed a rail line from Guelph Junction to Hamilton in 1912 and built a station in the neighbouring town of Waterdown, with the station here subsequently renamed after the community of Aldershot, where it is situated.
