The 1944 timetable listed 51 pairs of train services, including additional peak hour services between Essen Hbf and Essen Stadtwald in the line on weekdays. The line has been served since 26 May 1974 by line S 6 of the Rhine-Ruhr S-Bahn, although a service with S-Bahn characteristics had operated since 26 May 1968.
Deutsche Bahn renovated the line between 7 July and 19 August 2012. The stations of Essen Süd, Essen-Stadtwald, Essen-Hügel and Essen-Werden were modernised and harmonised as part of this work and 96 centimetre-high platforms were installed.[3]
Line closuresedit
Due to the effect of mining subsidence on a retaining wall north of the railway embankment between Essen-Stadtwald and Essen-Hügel, the line has been closed since 18 October 2017 and the trains of the S 6 from Dusseldorf terminate in Kettwig station. After 40 exploratory holes were drilled, Deutsche Bahn indicated old mining had caused the damage. The cavities that have been discovered are currently being filled in. The work and the closure of the line are to last until April 2018. During this period, buses are being operated between Kettwig and Essen Hauptbahnhof as rail replacement services.[4]
