The station is located on the network of the Bodensee-Oberschwaben Verkehrsverbund (Lake Constance-Upper Swabia Transport Association, bodo) and belongs to fare zone 68.

In preparation for the opening of the line to Memmingen on 2 October 1889 when Leutkirch became a railway junction, the current station building was built between the diverging tracks.

The town station was declared as the "Monument of the Month” in April 2012 by the Memorial Foundation of Baden-Württemberg.

A pair of trains (numbered 366/367) ran from Munich via Lindau and Zürich Airport to Milan, stopping in Wangen and Leutkirch.

Additionally Leutkirch is served every two hours by the RB 53 to/from Aulendorf, operated by DB Regio.
