Trivia
- The station building of Glassbury Junction (Version 2.0), is actually Dovedale East station of Version 1.0 . Yes they literally copied the station building of DE 1.0 and put it in 2.0 as the station building of Glassbury Junction!
- Prior to Version 2.0 there was nothing here, however there was an earlier pre-1.0 version of Glassbury Junction in the form of a station between Dovedale Central and Dovedale East. Back then first was it just a grass field. Later around Version 0.9 Glassbury Junction was closed and 'upgraded' in the sense that it was now located in the trench. When Version 1.0 was released, the (pre-1.0) GJ station was permanently closed.
- Glassbury Junction is the only station in Dovedale that is entirely inaccessible for people who are disabled. Masonfield is partly inaccessible for the disabled (platforms 3 & 4). GJ can't be accessed for inaccessible people as there is only the stair entrance from the Up-End. With no ramp or lift/elevator whatsoever.
