They connect with Düsseldorf Central Station, Düsseldorf-Bilk, Wuppertal, Neuss, Mönchengladbach, Hagen, Kaarst, and Mettmann.
Düsseldorf-Bilk station is now served only by the Rhine-Ruhr S-Bahn (slow regional trains) and is connected by the lines S 8, S 11 and S 28 to Neuss, Mönchengladbach, Kaarst, Wuppertal, Hagen, Erkrath, Mettmann, Dormagen, Cologne and other parts of Düsseldorf (Central station, Düsseldorf-Gerresheim,...).
Jan Wellem, Elector Palantine, constructed the Flinger Steinweg which was a paved road leading from Düsseldorf through Flingern to Gerresheim.
In 1809 Vennhausen became a part of the communal district of Gerresheim due to the Napoleonic area reforms at that time.
From Düsseldorf-Gerresheim to Mettmann the line runs along a remaining part of the largely closed Düsseldorf-Derendorf–Dortmund Süd railway through Neandertal and terminates in Mettmann-Stadtwald, which is together with Mettmann-Jubiläumsplatz bus stop is an important traffic node.
