The '''RegionalBahn''' (abbreviated RB) is a type of [[regional train]] in [[Germany]].

RegionalBahn trains usually call at all stations on a given line, with the exception of RB trains within [[S-Bahn]] networks, these may only call at selected stations. They thusly rank below the [[RegionalExpress]] train, which stops only at major stations on a route.

RB trains are subject to franchising by the [[States of Germany|federal states]] of Germany; whilst many RB trains are still operated by [[DB Regio]], franchises often go to other companies, like [[Veolia Verkehr]], [[eurobahn]], [[Abellio Rail]] or [[metronom]].

RB services make use of vastly different types of rolling stock; on electrified lines, [[double-deck]] cars or [[Electrical Multiple Unit|EMU]]s may be used, on non-electrified lines one will often find [[DB Class 218|Class 218]] locomotives with [[Silberling]] cars or newer [[Diesel multiple unit|DMU]]s like the [[Bombardier TALENT]].

There is no obligation to use the term ''RegionalBahn'' for basic local services; some private rail operators therefore use their own names to denote their trains.
