Bethel Village Station
History
The station opened as part of a light rail line between South Hills Village and Castle Shannon in 1984 and served both residential and commercial locations.
During the July 2022 emergency closures, in which the entirety of Pittsburgh's Red Line would close, PRT announced that the station would receive more limited service as well as limited delays, as the Blue and Silver lines' inbound tracks would be used for all inbound service.
Location
The station is sandwiched between the intersection of Avon Lane and Cambridge Road in Bethel Park, and Oxford Drive. The station is the primary light rail access point for one of Giant Eagle's Market District stores serving the South Hills Village, located about 1100 feet away by foot.
The station is also mentioned as a primary access point for Bethel Park's UPMC Field, which is a community baseball diamond used by Bethel Park municipal baseball programs.
