Around 1960, the entire East Rhine Railway from Cologne to Wiesbaden was electrified. During the introduction of the interim Rhineland-Palatinate integrated regular-interval timetable ("Rheinland-Pfalz-Taktes") between early June 2004 and early November 2009, Niederlahnstein station was made a pilot project of Rhineland-Palatinate to convert it into an "environmental station". The core of the concept was the upgrading of the platforms to make them barrier-free. This involved the building of three passenger lifts to the platforms. In addition, new platform canopies, bicycle parking, short-term parking and a new pedestrian underpass as an entry to the station were built. The municipality of Lahnstein was commissioned to carry out the redevelopment of the station forecourt. The total construction cost of the project was €5.4 million. In December 2007, an electronic interlocking was commissioned on the Right Rhine line. In the summer of 2008, the second phase of the project was completed and the Oberlahnstein–Niederlahnstein section was connected to the electronic interlocking system. In 2007, services on the Frankfurt-Koblenz section were tendered Europe-wide by the Rhein-Main-Verkehrsverbund (Rhine-Main Transport Association, RMV) and the "Zweckverband Schienenpersonennahverkehr Rheinland-Pfalz Nord" (Rail Transport Association of Rhineland-Palatinate North, SPNV). As a result, "VIAS GmbH" took over operations between Neuwied, Koblenz, Wiesbaden and Frankfurt under the 2010/2011 timetable on 12 December 2010. A locomotive depot (Bahnbetriebswerk) with a turntable, was formerly attached to Niederlahnstein station. It was disbanded as an independent agency in August 1952. Niederlahnstein station has an extensive layout of tracks. Four platform tracks next to two island platforms serve passenger traffic. There is no “home” platform next to the station building. The numbering begins on the west side of the station building. All local trains (Regional-Express and Regionalbahn) running on the two lines serving the station stop at it. Freight and some long-distance trains pass through the station without stopping. The southern section of the East Rhine Railway (Koblenz–Wiesbaden–Frankfurt) was served until the beginning of the 2010/2011 timetable in December 2010 by the Loreley-Bahn (RB 10) and the Loreley-Express (RE 10), which were operated by the Deutsche Bahn (DB).
