I also don't see anything here about a station in Hespeler proper, but I'm sure it's in the cards.
Why do you think it's too far down the line? There's not enough up there between the 401 and Eagle to make a commuter train station useful and valuable all by itself, and the split is only about 1,600m from where the LRT station will be. If that is as far as this Cambridge-Guelph mini-GO (CGMG) line will go, then Pinebush Station is the ideal stopping point, I feel.
What I would like to see is two stops in Cambridge—Pinebush with the LRT and one in Hespeler at Guelph St.
