[2] Geilenkirchen station has an entrance building that includes a waiting room, a ticket office and a fast food restaurant.

Furthermore, there is a siding for WestEnergie und Verkehr GmbH (the municipal electrical and transport company of the Heinsberg district).

In 1938, the Rollbock system was installed, allowing standard gauge wagons to be carried over the metre-gauge tracks of the Geilenkirchen District Railway.

Formerly, locomotives of classes 103 and 101 regularly hauled InterRegio services on the Aachen–Berlin route, which stopped at Geilenkirchen station.

In addition, the 3000 commuters a day using the station are able to use a more attractive waiting area with a service counter and new toilet facilities.

A pedestrian underpass provides barrier-free access between all platforms, the station building and the bus stop located in front of it.

In addition it has parking spaces for bicycles and in front of the main entrance there is a zone for waiting vehicles and taxis.
