This list is based on the timetable dated from 11 December 2016 to 9 December 2017, unless otherwise stated. Standard abbreviations are explained in [[General Information]].  Map references relate to the 2014 issue of the Schweers+Wall ''Eisenbahnatlas Deutschland''.


In the heading to each entry the map reference for the line in the Schweers+Wall ''Eisenbahn Atlas'' (2011 edition) is shown, in italic, in addition to the reference to M.G. Ball's ''European Railway Atlas''.
Reconstruction of Halle (Saale) Hbf and lines in the vicinity is causing significant alterations to train services. The following details reflect planned changes, as far as possible. However, users should be aware that there could be further variations, including to planned diversions, as work progresses.

A balloon loop at Stiege enables trains to run between the Alexisbad and Eisfelder Talmühle lines without reversing.  Passenger trains sometimes traverse this loop, especially if time needs to be saved due to late running, but there have been regular occurrences of locomotives running round the loop 'light engine' and of railcar drivers changing ends. It has recently been reported that the loop is only used by steam hauled trains if both the outward and return workings can use it. That way the locos are always kept facing the same way when they get back to Gernrode. In the 2015-2016 timetable the following trains appears to meet these criteria and are timed for only one minute at Stiege.
This north-west to north-east curve enables trains to run between the Magdeburg and Lutherstadt Wittenberg lines without reversing at Roßlau (Elbe).  The curve is a new and temporary one, with Abzw Rwa being west of Meinsdorf Hp.

There is grade-separated junction north of Bitterfeld, between the Berlin and Dessau lines, and to the south between the Leipzig and Halle lines.  A track from Bitterfeld towards Dessau passes under the Berlin main line and a flyover carries the track towards Leipzig over the line to Halle. 
 
Trains from Bitterfeld platform 1 towards Berlin run via a single track east of the Dessau line dive-under.  These are all ''ICE'' trains from Bitterfeld to Lutherstadt Wittenberg, plus ''RB'' and ''RE'' departures at 00:49 SSuO, 15:02 SSuX and 17:02 SSuX.
 
Trains to Wolfen and Dessau depart via the dive-under, except those at 06:49 SSuX and 21:49.


Most trains to or from Halle (Saale) starting or terminating at Bitterfeld use platforms 4, 5 or 6 on the west side the station and run via a connection between the Leipzig flyover and the Halle main line at Abzw Roitzsch.  The following also run via the flyover line at Abzw Roitzsch:
