Local public transport is operated by the Stadtwerke Bad Oldesloe, the municipal utility.

The line to Ratzeburg was put into operation on 15 August 1897, also by the Prussian state railways.

[4] Due to the progressive loss of traffic on branch lines from Bad Oldesloe from 1959, the north-western part of the station became superfluous.

Today it consists only of a dead-end platform track with a bypass for trains to and from Hamburg.

[5] The current entrance building was built in 1998 to the north-west of the remaining tracks.

Since 2008 the Lübeck–Hamburg railway has been electrified, while the line branching to Neumünster is operated by Nordbahn with LINT 41 diesel multiple units.
