=== Red Line === {{Main|Red Line (Calgary)}} Also known as Route 201, this route comprises two legs connected by the downtown transit mall: the South leg ({{convert|17.3|km}}) and the Northwest leg ({{convert|15.7|km}}). There are eleven stations on the South leg and nine on the Northwest leg. Total length of the line: {{convert|33|km}}.<ref name="Technical" /> ==== South leg ==== This was the first leg of the system to be built. Seven stations on this leg opened on May 25, 1981, as the first light railway line to serve the city. From north to south, they are {{stl|CTrain|Victoria Park/Stampede}} (renamed from Stampede in 1995), {{stl|CTrain|Erlton/Stampede}} (renamed from Erlton in 1995), {{stl|CTrain|39 Avenue}} (renamed from 42 Avenue in 1986), {{stl|CTrain|Chinook}}, {{stl|CTrain|Heritage}} (also the site of the Haysboro LRT Storage Facility), {{stl|CTrain|Southland}}, and {{stl|CTrain|Anderson}} (also the site of the Anderson LRT Yards). The original South line was 10.9 km long. On October 9, 2001, the line was extended south 3.4 km and two new stations were added: {{stl|CTrain|Canyon Meadows}} and {{stl|CTrain|Fish Creek–Lacombe}}, as part of the South LRT Extension Phase I. On June 28, 2004, Phase II opened adding 3 km of track and two more stations: {{stl|CTrain|Shawnessy}} and {{stl|CTrain|Somerset–Bridlewood}}. A further three stations – Silverado (most likely in the area of 194th Avenue SW), 212th Avenue South, and Pine Creek (in the area around 228th Avenue SW) – are planned once the communities adjacent to their location are developed.<ref>{{cite web |author= Calgary Transit |title= Calgary LRT Network Plan |publisher= City of Calgary |year= 2008 |page= 5 |url= http://calgarytransit.com/pdf/ct_lrt_network_plan.pdf |access-date= 2009-01-01 |url-status= dead |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20091229191733/http://www.calgarytransit.com/pdf/ct_lrt_network_plan.pdf |archive-date= December 29, 2009 |df= mdy-all }}</ref> {| class="wikitable" |+Red Line South Stations !Stations !Community !Opened !Rebuilt ! ! !Former Names |- |[[Victoria Park/Stampede station|Victoria Park-Stampede Station]] |[[Beltline, Calgary|Beltline]] |1981 |2023 |Outdoor |At-Grade |[[Victoria Park/Stampede station|Stampede Station]] |- |[[Erlton/Stampede station|Erlton-Stampede Station]] |[[Erlton, Calgary|Erlton]] |1981 | |Indoor |At-Grade |[[Erlton/Stampede station|Erlton Station]] |- |[[39 Avenue station (Calgary)|39 Avenue Station]] |[[Manchester, Calgary|Manchester]] |1981 | |Outdoor |At-Grade |[[39 Avenue station (Calgary)|42 Avenue Station]] |- |[[Chinook station|Chinook Station]] |[[Manchester, Calgary|Manchester]] |1981 |2014 |Outdoor |At-Grade | |- |[[Heritage station (Calgary)|Heritage Station]] |[[Haysboro, Calgary|Haysboro]] |1981 | |Indoor |At-Grade | |- |[[Southland station (Calgary)|Southland Station]] |[[Southwood, Calgary|Southwood]] |1981 | |Indoor |At-Grade | |- |[[Anderson station (Calgary)|Anderson Station]] |[[Southwood, Calgary|Southwood]] |1981 | |Indoor |At-Grade | |- |[[Canyon Meadows station|Canyon Meadows Station]] |[[Canyon Meadows, Calgary|Canyon Meadows]] |2001 | |Indoor |At-Grade | |- |[[Fish Creek–Lacombe station|Fish Creek–Lacombe Station]] |[[Shawnee Slopes, Calgary|Shawnee Slopes]] |2001 | |Mixed |At-Grade | |- |[[Shawnessy station|Shawnessy Station]] |[[Shawnessy, Calgary|Shawnessy]] |2003 | |Outdoor |At-Grade | |- |[[Somerset–Bridlewood station|Somerset-Bridlewood Station]] |[[Somerset, Calgary|Somerset]] |2003 | |Outdoor |At-Grade | |} ==== Northwest leg ==== This was the third leg of the system to be built.
