Brides Glen stop is located at the end of a concrete viaduct over an empty plot of land. The sole entrance is to the road which runs past the southern end of the stop. Ramps provide access from the entrance to each of the side platforms. The short space between the platforms and the road contains buffers, a flower bed, electrical substations, and toilet for Luas drivers. There is a double crossover on the tracks immediately to the north of the stop.
The stop provides access to the Cherrywood development, Loughlinstown, and St. Columcille's Hospital. It is also served by Dublin Bus routes 7 and 84.[2]
