Importance
The station is no longer served by long-distance traffic since the introduction of the Interregio line from Stuttgart via Würzburg and Schweinfurt to Erfurt in 2001. It still has an important role, however, in regional and local rail services.
There are currently passenger services on the following lines:
- KBS 803 (Schweinfurt–) Bad Kissingen–Gemünden (Main) (Franconian Saale Valley Railway), single-tracked main line
- KBS 810 Würzburg–Schweinfurt–Haßfurt–Bamberg (Bamberg–Würzburg railway), double-tracked main line
- KBS 815/570 Schweinfurt–Bad Neustadt (Saale)–Meiningen /–Erfurt (Schweinfurt–Meiningen railway), single-tracked main line
On the single-tracked branch line Kitzingen–Schweinfurt there is still goods traffic between Gochsheim and Schweinfurt, the rest of the line to Kitzingen-Etwashausen is unused.

Famous quotes containing the word importance:
“Society is the stage on which manners are shown; novels are the literature. Novels are the journal or record of manners; and the new importance of these books derives from the fact, that the novelist begins to penetrate the surface, and treat this part of life more worthily.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The awareness of the all-surpassing importance of social groups is now general property in America.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
“One’s condition on marijuana is always existential. One can feel the importance of each moment and how it is changing one. One feels one’s being, one becomes aware of the enormous apparatus of nothingness—the hum of a hi-fi set, the emptiness of a pointless interruption, one becomes aware of the war between each of us, how the nothingness in each of us seeks to attack the being of others, how our being in turn is attacked by the nothingness in others.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
