[1] Less than five of the long-distance passenger services running on the left Rhine line stop at the station each day.

In 1854, the Rhenish Railway Company (Rheinische Eisenbahn Gesellschaft, RhE) began planning the construction of the extension of the left Rhine line from its current terminus at Rolandseck to Bingen Hauptbahnhof.

At the end of 1859, the southern section of the left Rhine line was put into operation between Koblenz and Bingen.

An important step in achieving today's high-capacity line on the left bank of the Rhine was the modernisation of the interlocking technology in the 1970s.

After about two and a half years of construction, the Boppard Bf signalling centre was put into operation on the night of 28 August 1977.

The 1859 station building was originally left standing in accordance with a preservation order,[4] but it had to be demolished in 1989 to permit the relocation of federal highway B 9.

[6] The handling of freight in Boppard and on the Hunsrück railway was abandoned, allowing Deutsche Bahn to dismantle the tracks and points at the station from 1998.

For this reason, Rhenus Veniro bought the old and dilapidated Bahnmeisterei (the office of the director of track maintenance)[10] from Deutsche Bahn in 2007 and two years later built a shed there for parking and repairing its trains and a carriage washing facility.

For Boppard Hbf, this means that lifts will be installed and platforms will be raised from 38 or 55 to 76 cm above the top of the rails.

[13] A few long-distance services stop at Boppard station in the early morning and late at night.
