The axis of the U-Bahn station crosses the main line station; a long-planned extension would pass under the Frankfurt-Hanau line and run east of it along Hanauer Landstraße. Originally the station platform was only 75 metres long, instead of the normal 105 metres on the U-Bahn, allowing the operation of trains with a maximum of three carriages. In 2001 construction began for the extension of the platforms to 105 metres, which was completed on 26 April 2007, allowing the unrestricted use of four-car trains. At the same time a new pedestrian link was built and a new Ostbahnhof/Honsellstraße station was opened for

Rolling stock of the Berlin Duty Train, using sleeper cars and one crew car per train, were stored at this location during the day and then moved to the Frankfurt/Main Hauptbahnhof to pick up passengers for the evening departures to Berlin-Lichterfeld West and, later that night, Bremerhaven. By the early 1980s, service to Bremerhaven was dropped, leaving only trains on the Frankfurt/Main-Berlin Lichterfeld West and Bremerhaven-Berlin-Lichterfeld West routes, until the complete end of service in December 1990.

As a result of the rebuilding of Danziger Platz, the tram stop was moved into the adjacent Hanauer Landstraße, originally with the intention of it returning a rebuilt stop at its former location in the station forecourt after the completion of construction works.
