in the late 1960s the royal mail built a mail conveyor at the northern end of the station, with significant aesthetic impact. this was out of use for many years following the transfer of royal mail's activities to the west of england mail centre at filton and the opening of the short-lived railnet hub next to bristol parkway station in may 2000. it was finally dismantled in stages and removed between october and december 2014. in 1990/91, £2 million was spent by intercity on a renovation of the main train shed and another £7 million on restoring some of the older areas of the station, including the refurbishment of the subway and construction of new retail outlets. the shorter of the two 1935 platform islands had been used only for parcels traffic since the 1960s but was temporarily brought back into passenger use during this work. it was fully restored for passenger use in 2001.

the eilendorf platform (which was a train station, until the 1960s) lies on the express line between cologne and aachen, directly between the stops at stolberg main train station and the aachen station at rothe erde. the station was first opened to commuter and freight traffic in 1841, under the name of "nirm", on 1 april 1897, a station building was opened at this location. and though the line is heavily traveled by intercity-express and thalys trains, only trains of the euregiobahn and nrw-express services stop at the station. it takes approximately three minutes to reach the first aachen station at rothe erde, and seven minutes to reach the aachen hauptbahnhof (or main train station).
