Today the only long-distance train calling at Fürth Hauptbahnhof is the CityNightLine Pluto which runs from Munich to Berlin.

Since 7 December 1985, the 150th anniversary of the German railways, Fürth Hauptbahnhof has been joined to the U1 line of the Nuremberg U-Bahn network.

The old station was knocked down in 1938 when the Nazi Party needed a parade ground on the Schlageterplatz, known today as the Fürther Freiheit.

In 1863/1864 a rectangular building with a wide, central Risalit appeared on the northern side of the new railway line at Bahnhofsplatz 9.

Today this through station has nine tracks (one of which is a passing loop for goods trains) and seven platforms with lengths between 348 and 421 metres.

When it is completely ready in 2011 it will be able to control, not just the station, but the line to Nuremberg with its total of 87 home signals and 94 axle counters.
