Since 2002 the scheduled rail traffic at the railway station has been discontinued in favour of Großenhain Cottbuser Bahnhof, which is located closer to the city.

Since the timetable change on 14 December 2002, no passenger trains stopping at Großenhain Berliner Bahnhof anymore after the responsible Verkehrsverbund Oberelbe (VVO) cancelled the local transport services on the section between Coswig and Großenhain on the Berlin–Dresden railway line.

The local trains on the Dresden-Elsterwerda line (RB 31) have since been running via Priestewitz and Großenhain Cottbuser Bahnhof.

In doing so, they used a connecting line between the two Großenhain stations, which had previously only been used for freight traffic.

The platforms and crossings were repaired, a ticket machine installed and security personnel employed.
