Gleethrop End is the one of the two intermediate stations on the branch line from Dovedale Central to Mazewood. With Perthtyne being the next station towards Mazewood. This station has 3 tracks and 3 platforms each with TDEUs. Gleethrop End is on the end of the electric line from Dovedale Central (, the third rail ends after the station in the direction of Mazewood in the event an EMU accidentally gets on platform 1). Only Diesel Trains are allowed to go further to Perthtyne and Mazewood.
The station houses the spawners for the Class 142, Class 319 and Class 411 on the terminating platform 3.
In version 1.2, the station received a roof, an overpass, benches and an additional platform in the middle. In version 2.0, like many other stations, Gleethrop End has an massive upgrade. With the addition of an entrance with street access, lifts, basically a town around GE and a signalbox of its own.
Prior to version 1.0, the station had hosted two "Dale Mail" post boxes. Now, the only remaining one can be found at the Lighthouse.
While the Releovka System was in use, only 1 platform was available. Another platform was added after Dovedale Central overhaul, but turning back from this station required shunting as there were no crossovers.
