In 2011, Caltrain added Baby Bullet service to weekend schedules.<ref name=TT110101 /><ref name=SFC-110101>{{cite news |url=http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Caltrain-to-test-weekend-Baby-Bullet-runs-2534604.php |title=Caltrain to test weekend Baby Bullet runs |author=Cabanatuan, Michael |date=1 January 2011 |newspaper=San Francisco Chronicle |accessdate=25 March 2017}}</ref> There were four weekend/holiday Baby Bullets per day (two in the mornings and two in the evenings), each making seven intermediate stops between 4th&King and Diridon: Millbrae, San Mateo, Hillsdale, Redwood City, Palo Alto, Mountain View, and Sunnyvale; these stations were selected for their proximity to activities as probable leisure time destinations.<ref name=SFC-110101 />

Caltrain quietly modified Pattern B trains to add a reverse-commute stop at Palo Alto in October 2012. With this change, all Baby Bullet trains stop at Palo Alto, regardless of pattern or direction.<ref name=TT121001 /> To accommodate planned [[Electrification of Caltrain|CalMod]] work, Caltrain will shiftshifted to a modified Pattern A on AprApril 10, 2017 and add a reverse-commute stop at Redwood City.<ref name=TT170410N /><ref name=TT170410STT170410 />
