Somerset–Bridlewood Station is a CTrain light rail station in the Calgary, Alberta community of Shawnessy. It is the current southern terminus of the Red Line. The station is one of two that opened on June 28, 2004 as part of the second phase of the South LRT Extension. The station is located on the exclusive LRT right of way (adjacent to CPR ROW), 16.9 km (10.5 mi) south of the City Hall interlocking along Shawville Gate. 913 parking spaces are included in the park-and-ride facility at the station.
The station consists of a center-loading platform with at-grade crossings at both ends of the platform. Unlike a majority of CTrain stations, the platform was initially constructed to accommodate a four-car-length train.
In 2007, the station registered an average of 13,000 boardings per weekday. This is up from a ridership of 10,100 from 2005.
