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). There are connections between Leipzig Nordkopf, on line 6411, and Leipzig Nord.  The southbound connection, in particular, follows a separate alignment of its own. All ''S1'' trains to and from Leipzig Messe run via and call at Leipzig Nord.  ''S2'' trains to and from Delitzsch or Bitterfeld use line 6411 northbound and line 6396 southbound.

All ''S2'' and ''S6'' trains to and from Leipzig Messe or beyond 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, via platforms 3 and 4 at Leipzig Messe.

This part of the original rail route from Berlin to Dresden links Falkenberg with the Leipzig – Dresden main line near Riesa. The local passenger service has been withdrawn, but owing to engineering work between Berlin and Elsterwerda, which will last until late 2017, all ''EC'', ''EN'' and ''IC'' trains between Berlin and Dresden are diverted by this route.

''RB'' and ''RE'' trains between Dresden and Elsterwerda run via Priestewitz and Großenhain Cottbuser Bf.

The following trains were diverted via this cross-border freight-only line on 18, 19, 25 and 26 March 2017 and will be again on 17, 18, 24 and 25 June, 19, 20, 26 and 27 August and 2 September 2017.
The weekend trains between Berlin and Wrócław have occasionally been diverted via this recently electrified and reopened freight cross-border line in the last two years. Further use is expected in 2019. Reissued PKP PDF 260 dated 28 December 2018 shows this in use by one service. Note Interrail tickets etc are not valid on these services.

This part of the original rail route from Berlin to Dresden links Falkenberg with the Leipzig – Dresden main line near Riesa. The local passenger service was withdrawn in 2004, but when there is engineering work on the main line to/from Berlin via Elsterwerda, all ''EC'', ''EN'' and ''IC'' trains between Berlin and Dresden are diverted by this route. This occurred frequently in the last few years while the main line was upgraded. Although the upgrade has now been completed, further occasional diversions may occur in future.
===Taucha (b. Leipzig) (Leipzig-Heiterblick) - Leipzig-Stötteritz (Leipzig-Schönefeld)===
[209.43] (''131B3'') DE19/334
This line links the Eilenburg line with the route to Leipzig Hbf (tief) or Markkleeberg via Leipzig-Stötteritz. It is used when the usual route to Leipzig Hbf via Leipzig-Thekla is unavailable. ''RE10'' services between Cottbus, Eilenburg and Leipzig ran this way between 28 June and 7 July 2018 as they were diverted to/from Leipzig-Stötteritz instead of Hbf.
