Passenger trains to Hasten previously ran from their own terminal platform west of the station building.

The new building included a rebuilt section of the hall of Elberfeld-Döppersberg station (which was closed in 1848 when Wuppertal Hauptbahnhof opened).

On 28 April 1974, centralised interlocking was opened at the southwestern end of the railway land next to the Papenberger Straße level crossing.

[9] After the destruction of the war, the station was rebuilt in a simplified a form on the remaining foundation and on 14 August 1956, the entrance building was re-inaugurated.

As part of Regionale 2006 (a regional development program of Remscheid, Solingen and Wuppertal), it was decided to carry out the complete reconstruction of the station.

The old pedestrian overpass was replaced by a temporary bridge built by Technisches Hilfswerk in November 2006, which was in place until the completion of the new works.

Since December 2022, the Station is also served hourly by regional service RE 47 between Düsseldorf Hauptbahnhof and Remscheid-Lennep, operated by Regiobahn.
