The Laupheim Stadt branch is connected to the Ulm - Friedrichshafen main line by a triangular junction at Laupheim West. Through services calling at Laupheim Stadt use the north and south curves whereas those not calling at Laupheim Stadt use the main line avoiding the branch.  For most of the day there is an hourly service in each direction via Laupheim Stadt and at least one train each hour between Ulm and Biberach direct.


This connection between the ''Schnellfahrstrecke'' and the passenger line from Kornwestheim to Stuttgart-Untertürkheim allows trains to avoid reversal at Stuttgart Hbf.  The importance of calls at Stuttgart is such that very little passenger use is made of this route and diversion of the following trains is unusual.
