This list is based on the timetable dated from 9 December 2018 to 14 December 2019, unless otherwise stated. Standard abbreviations are explained in [[General Information]].  Map references relate to the 2014 issue of the Schweers+Wall ''Eisenbahnatlas Deutschland''.


In the heading to each entry the map reference for the line in the Schweers+Wall ''Eisenbahn Atlas'' (2011 edition) is shown, in italic, in addition to the reference to M.G. Ball's ''European Railway Atlas''.
==Obscure services==
 
===Mainz-Mombach - Mainz Abzw Kaiserbrücke West===
(''151B2'') DE19/401
 
This west to north curve links the line from Koblenz via Bingen with the Kaiserbrücke over the Rhein.  It may be used by trains to Hochheim (Main) or Mainz-Bischofsheim if not calling at Mainz Hbf. Various types of older carriages are not permitted through the tunnels at Mainz, so any trains including such vehicles are likely to be diverted this way.  This should not affect regular passenger trains operating through Mainz; excursions and other special trains are more likely to use this route.
 
The following train is the rear portion of a service that divides at Budenheim.
