Location

In 1977, during the building of the Rhine-Main S-Bahn, the former station building of Niederrad station was closed. The entrances to the S-Bahn station are located about 700 metres further south on Lyoner Straße. The station is rated by Deutsche Bahn as a category 3 station.[1] It consists of four platform tracks on the Main Railway and the Ried Railway . It is located on an elevated position above Adolf-Miersch-Straße and Lyoner Straße. The two platforms are accessible from the street via lifts and stairs. All trains running through Frankfurt-Niederrad pass over the Main on either of the two Niederrad bridges located north of the station.

Connections

The station is used by Regional-Express and Regionalbahn services and S-Bahn services of lines S 7, S 8 and S 9. Intercity and Intercity-Express services pass by on the Ried Railway without stopping. A few years ago some InterCity trains also stopped in the off-peak.

Underneath the station there are interchanges with tram lines 12 and 19 (runs only at certain times) and bus lines 78 (runs only from Monday to Friday) and 79 (runs only in the mornings and from Monday to Friday).
