Trains are often quite full once they leave Appleby, and surely by Bronte. There are quite a few people from Hamilton and Niagara who drive to either Burlington or Aldershot to catch the train as well, boosting the "Burlington" count.

One hurdle that GO will have to face with eventual expansion into east Hamilton and Niagara is that, barring massive traffic congestion on the QEW or a huge increase in the cost of driving, it will still be much faster and easier to drive to the Burlington stations than it will be to hop on the train at Centennial, Fifty Rd., or points east and take the long route around the bay through the city. Their price structure may have to reflect that as well to provide incentive for south-of-the-lake drivers to use the service. I expect GO will adjust their connecting bus services as well.
