There are two routes available for ''S-Bahn'' trains between Leipzig Hbf (tief) and platforms 1 and 2 on the Bitterfeld line at Leipzig Messe.  These are via Leipzig Nord on the Eilenburg line (6396) or via the main line to Bitterfeld (6411). All ''S2'' and ''S6'' trains to and from Leipzig Messe or beyond now run via and call at Leipzig Nord and so use line 6396 and the connections between Leipzig Nordkopf, on line 6411, and Leipzig Nord in both directions.  The southbound connection, in particular, follows a separate alignment of its own. The only ''S-Bahn'' trains to use the southern end of line 6411 are ''S5/S5X'' services to and from the Leipzig/Halle Flughafen line.

[500] (72C2) DE18/308F

Most fast trains between Dresden and Leipzig or Berlin run via Radebeul Ost. The following trains run via Cossebaude so make use of this south-north connection:

SO IC2322 09:22 Dresden Hbf - Ostseebad Binz
SO IC1934 14:52 Dresden Hbf - Emden

Falkenberg (Elster) – Glaubitz (b Riesa) (Abzw. Zeithain Bogendreieck)

(59C1-59C3) DE18/333 [The northern part of this route is in Land Brandenburg]

This part of the original rail route from Berlin to Dresden links Falkenberg with the Leipzig – Dresden main line near Riesa.

This was the case during most of 2016 and 2017 and on certain dates in spring 2018. Further occasional diversions may occur in future.
