The following trains to and from Westerland (Sylt) include a portion for Dagebüll between 18 March and 30 October 2016. The times of arrival at Niebüll Bf and departure from Niebüll neg or vice versa are shown. The shunt between the stations takes place between these times.

Kiel avoiding line: Flintbek (Meimersdorf) - Kiel-Hassee Cittipark

[103, 146] (10B2, 118B2) DE16/002

This north to south curve allows trains to run between the Neümunster and Flensburg lines at Kiel without reversal at the Hauptbahnhof. It is used by passenger trains when engineering work blocks the main line between Neümunster and Flensburg.

D1 SO IC1230 Københavns Lufthavn - 01:33 (SuO) Kolding - Hamburg Hbf
D1 SO IC1231 23:57 Hamburg Hbf - København H

D1: 2 July to 3 September 2016

Kiel Hbf (Kiel Süd) - Schönberg (Holstein)

(10B2-11A2, 3C4-3D4) DE16/003

Tourist trains run every Saturday and Sunday during the summer between Schönberg (Holst) and Schönberger Strand. On some days there are through trains between Kiel Hbf and either Schönberg (Holst) or Schönberger Strand. See the Schönberger Museumsbahnen timetable.

Burg (Fehmarn) West

[140] (11B2 not shown; 4C3) DE16/004

This triangular junction connects Fehmarn-Burg with the main line between Lübeck and Puttgarden.

The main line is used by EC and ICE trains between Hamburg and København via the Puttgarden – Rødby train ferry. All 'RB trains between Lübeck and Puttgarden call at Fehmarn-Burg, and so use the east-facing sides of the triangle in sequence. There are a few dated IC trains between Hamburg and Burg (Fehmarn), which use only the east to south curve.

The RB trains mostly run combined with a portion for Neustadt (Holst), with division and attachment taking place at Neustadt (Holst) Gbf, which is not a passenger station.
