Today the station has two passenger halts, Leipzig-Wahren and Leipzig-Lützschena, as well as a transshipment facility for combined transport.

The Prussian state railways connected the station with the Leipzig-Leutzsch–Leipzig-Wahren and the Leipzig-Wahren–Leipzig-Schönefeld lines, which formed part of the Leipzig Freight Ring.

The railway yard in the town of Wahren and the freight ring towards Schönefeld were electrified as early as 1914, but shortly after the beginning of the First World War the operation of electric trains in central Germany was stopped and the catenary systems were dismantled for the production of non-ferrous metals.

In the middle of the 1970s, a workshop for the training of electric signal mechanics was set up in the rooms of the former station restaurant in the entrance building by the vocational school of the Reichsbahndirektion (Railway division) of Halle.

An electronic interlocking built by Thales was installed with the construction of the S-Bahn link between Halle and Leipzig in 2003 and 2004.

At the end of 2014, the RTL reality-television contestant Melanie Müller, together with her husband and manager, Mike Blümer, bought the now empty entrance building.

[10] In the station area were the halts (Haltepunkte) of Leipzig-Wahren and Lützschena, which were served by the trains between Leipzig and Halle.

Leipzig-Wahren received a new 140 m-long and 55 cm-high island platform on the south side of the track field.

They are served today by the trains of line S3 ((Geithain –) Borna – Halle Hbf (– Halle-Trotha)) of the S-Bahn Mitteldeutschland and belong to zone 110 of Mitteldeutscher Verkehrsverbund (Central Germany Transport Association, MDV) for ticketing purposes.
