Today long-distance trains and the Wupper-Express only operate via Dortmund-Kruckel when the main line via the Oberstraße Tunnel is blocked and services have to be rerouted.

For a long time there was a freight yard at Dortmund Kruckel, especially serving sidings to nearby companies.

The code for the operating point is EWIA (E = former railway division of Essen, Wi = Witten, Kr = Kruckel) Since the restaurant was closed in the former station building after 35 years of operations, the building and the park and ride lot on the other side of the railway line have been for sale.

This means that only one train an hour continues through Witten Hauptbahnhof as line S 8 to and from Hagen, Wuppertal, Düsseldorf and Mönchengladbach.

[4] The circular route of bus line 448 of Dortmunder Stadtwerke provides only a rudimentary feeder services from the outlying areas to the station.
