Today, the line is served at two-hour intervals by Regional-Express service RE 3 via Eberswalde and Berlin to Lutherstadt Wittenberg. Since the timetable change in December 2014, Regionalbahn service RB 61 running from Monday to Friday between Schwedt and Angermünde only are operated by NEB Betriebsgesellschaft mbH, while services continuing towards Berlin as Regional-Express service RE 3 are operated by DB Regio. Both services run alternately on working days, so that there is an hourly service between Angermünde and Schwedt. The additional peak hour services of line RE 3 between Angermünde and Schwedt has since been redesignated as Regional-Bahn service RB 61.
