A few lines also serve stations in Germany, France and Italy. Since 2023, all RE services are numbered for more clarity. It is comparable to the [[Regional-Express]] in [[Rail transport in Germany|Germany]], [[Rail transport in Austria|Austria]] and [[Rail transport in Luxembourg|Luxembourg]].<ref>{{cite web|title=RegioExpress Bern – Luzern|periodical=|publisher=MySwitzerland.com|url=https://www.myswitzerland.com/de-ch/regioexpress-bern-luzern.html|url-status=|format=|access-date=2018-11-12|archive-url=|archive-date=|last=|date=|year=|language=|pages=|quote=}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=BLS RegioExpress Lötschberger|periodical=|publisher=MySwitzerland.com|url=https://www.myswitzerland.com/de-ch/bls-regioexpress-loetschberger.html|url-status=|format=|access-date=2018-11-12|archive-url=|archive-date=|last=|date=|year=|language=|pages=|quote=}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Streckennetz: 384'000 Meter Schienen|periodical=|publisher=RhB|url=https://www.rhb.ch/de/service-souvenirs/streckennetz|url-status=|format=|access-date=2018-11-12|archive-url=|archive-date=|last=|date=|year=|language=|pages=|quote=}}</ref> Its speed is considerably faster than regional trains at the same level, as it does not stop at all stations served by the regional trains. Nonetheless, it is slightly slower than [[InterRegio]] trains. Swiss Federal Railways describes the trains as ones that serve "rapidly into the regions".
