East of the station, they join to form a common route at Linden junction, which is the actual beginning of the Gruiten–Köln-Deutz line.

As part of the establishment of S-Bahn services on the Düsseldorf–Wuppertal line in 1988, Gruiten station was significantly rebuilt.

This allowed a large park and ride lot to be built.

Today the building contains a restaurant and the Gruiten municipal library.

On the forecourt of the station there is a taxi rank and bus stop, served by buses towards Mettmann, Haan and Wülfrath.
