Visselhövede is classified by the Deutsche Bahn as a category 6 station and is located about 1.5 kilometres southwest of the town centre on the L 171 state road in the direction of Kirchlinteln–Verden an der Aller.

The platform can also be reached from around the western side of the building, but the path is in very poor condition due to numerous, deep potholes which preclude wheelchair access.

In front of the station building a small car park has been retained in the shape of a pothole-covered area of tarmac with no markings and a covered bicycle stand.

Goods trains today include a high level of wood traffic and those serving a mineral oil firm in an industrial estate east Visselhövede.

Occasional goods trains belonging to small, private companies pass through between e.g. Wilhelmshaven and destinations in Central Germany and Berlin.

In addition to rectifying shortcomings on the running line which had become increasingly urgent since the 1990s, the station was given an automatic train detection system (automatische Gleisfreimeldeanlage) and new colour light signals.

In previous years the EBA had repeatedly threatened the DB AG with a complete ban on operations on the Langwedel–Soltau route due to its clapped out infrastructure.

In addition there have been several discussions about moving the location of the present passenger station on the America Line to the east, nearer to the town centre.
