[250, 251] (46B3 not shown, 131C3-131C2) DE09/303
Lines westwards from Leipzig-Mockau to Wiederitzsch and to Leipzig/Halle Flughafen cross over the main line to Bitterfeld on flyovers. This line towards Bitterfeld runs to the east of the flyovers and not below them. It has previously been used by RE trains from Delitzsch unt Bf at 06:41, 07:41 and every two hours until 19:41. This may continue, but RE trains non-stop from Leipzig Hbf to Delitzsch unt Bf have been accelerated by three minutes so probably now run via the main line.

[504] (42B3 not shown, 130D2) DE09/304
This is an alternative, longer route between the S-Bahn line from Halle (Salle) and Leipzig Hbf. Until the line via Leipzig/Halle Flughafen opened it was part of the main line between Leipzig and Halle.
