A shopping centre (the Teck-Center), was built on the site of the old station and the old track, which partly ran through the local streets, was abandoned.
In Wendlingen, the lead at the junction with the Neckar-Alb Railway was doubled to allow the S-Bahn trains to use the platforms appropriate to their direction of operation.
The section after the 5.5 km mark (just past Holzmaden station) has been dismantled and is partly converted to a foot or bike path.
Excavated material from the new line (including the tunnels) will be carried on the A 8 to Holzmaden via a highway exit dedicated to this traffic.
Since then Wernau, Wendlingen, Ötlingen and Kirchheim have been served every half-hour by class 423 electric multiple units.
Between Kirchheim and Oberlenningen hourly services are formed of class 650 diesel multiple units operated by DB ZugBus Regionalverkehr Alb-Bodensee.
Safe working on the Kirchheim–Oberlenningen section operates under the system known as Zugleitbetrieb ("train control"), which is used in Germany on simple routes.
The freight yard at Oberlenningen station is relatively large for a secondary line and has its own Class V 60 diesel shunter.
[3] The Regional Transportation Plan for the Stuttgart region of 2001 identified a rail link between Göppingen and Kirchheim unter Teck, connecting the abandoned tracks of the Voralb Railway (Voralbbahn) with the Teck Railway, and classified it as of "high urgency".
