It was replaced by the existing station building. The area of the former goods yard, which lay to the west of the platforms, has been reduced dramatically in recent years, so that today it is no longer used. Only a large brownfield area indicates its former size.With the commissioning of electronic interlocking at Grevenbroich on the Rheydt-Ehrenfeld route in 2007, the Gnf and Gs signal boxes were closed, but they still exist.The station was partially restored in the period from July to September 2012. A new floor covering with a tactile guidance system for the visually impaired and blind was installed and the entrance area was renovated. The middle entrance door was replaced by an automatically opening door, it allows wheelchair users and people with restricted mobility to enter the station. Deutsche Bahn invested about €300,000 for this project.OperationsGrevenbroich station is served by the following three services:
