On railways, the layout of the tracks and number and length of platforms at stations normally limit the extent to which a blend of fast/semi-fast/slow services can be operated.

===Australia===
In Australia, particularly in [[Queensland Rail City network|Brisbane]] and [[NSW TrainLink|Sydney]], limited stop services are formed by commuter trains that run as limited stops or express services from the city centre to the edge of the suburban area and then as all stops in the interurban area (an example of such an express pattern can be seen on the [[Gold Coast railway line|Gold Coast line]] and the [[Airport_%26_South_Line|East Hills line]]).

=== Finland ===
In [[Helsinki]], [[Finland]], [[VR commuter rail]] services are formed by trains that run as limited stops or express from the city centre and then stop all stations in the interurban area. The Y train is one such example.<ref>{{Cite web |date=9 October 2022 |title=y Route - Schedules, Stops & Maps - Helsinki (Updated) |url=https://moovitapp.com/index/en/public_transit-line-Y-Helsinki-1084-10220-424406-0 |website=Moovit}}</ref>

=== Japan ===
In Japan, the limited stops train is known as a '''semi-express train''' ({{Lang|ja|準急}} ''Junkyū''). An example is applied to [[Nankai Railway]]'s [[Koya Line]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Carrigan |first=Liam |date=2020-02-20 |title=Nankai |url=https://www.osaka.com/info/osaka-transportation/nankai-electric-railway/ |access-date=2022-10-20 |website=Osaka.com |language=en-AU}}</ref>

===United Kingdom===
In the United Kingdom, some railway stations have tracks for which there are no platforms, allowing a larger number of fast trains to pass them without stopping. They may go down the middle of the station or down the side such as at {{Stnlink|Forest Hill}}, {{Stnlink|Raynes Park}}, {{Stnlink|Kentish Town}} and {{Stnlink|Totnes}} (the middle track at Totnes is used only in the summer by [[Great Western Railway (train operating company)|Great Western Railway]] services between {{Stnlink|London Paddington}} and {{Stnlink|Newquay}}).

===United States===
In the United States, some railway stations have tracks for which there are no platforms. For instance, various commuter rail services run along the same tracks as [[Amtrak]]'s [[Acela Express]] and [[Northeast Corridor]] routes with four rails, two in the middle for Amtrak, and two on either side for the commuter rail. There are also Express services within those, as at many smaller stations, the Northeast Corridor trains will split off onto the commuter rail tracks to make a stop, and the Acela trains will continue.

====Subways====

The United States also uniquely has subways that use this method. In [[New York City]], [[New York City Subway nomenclature|services]] are designated as separate lines, which are often part-express, part-local, while others are only express at certain times of day, for example the [[J/Z (New York City Subway service)|J and Z]] services. In [[Philadelphia]], they are considered the same line, but with a few different types of services. The [[B (SEPTA Metro)|B]] has the local (B1), which makes all stops; the express (B2), which has an early Southern terminus in the city center; the spur (B3), which makes a few more stops than the express but less than the local, and then branches out to service two other stations), and the special, which is run only during sporting events, and runs as the express but then continues nonstop down to the southern terminus of the local, sharing tracks with the local.
