The Hamburg S-Bahn is rapid mass transit railway network in the Hamburg Metropolitan Region. Together, the S-Bahn, the Hamburg U-Bahn, the AKN railway and the regional railway form the backbone of railway public transport in the city and the surrounding area. The network has operated since 1907 as an electric rapid transit system, under the direction of the state railway, and is member of Hamburger Verkehrsverbund (HVV), Hamburg's transport association. There are six lines, serving 68 stations, on 147 kilometres (91 mi) of route. On an average working day the S-Bahn transports about 590,000 passengers; in 2010 about 221 million people used the S-Bahn. ~Wikipedia

Uses an interesting and unique power system; SIDE-contact high-voltage third rail (1.2kV DC). The only other side-contact system like this I know of was the old Manchester to Bury line in Britain, electrified at the same voltage from 1916 to 1991 without issue, and only removed to be replaced with an integrated tram system. Curious why you don't see more, since it seems as rugged and speed-capable as top-contact and even easier to insulate than bottom-contact, also avoiding ice forming on the top (or icicles forming on the bottom) of the rail, and avoiding debris potentially getting lodged in the contact space. also seems to be safely able to operate at high voltage, for greater transmission efficiency, and better hill performance and acceleration. Really seems to be the best of both worlds; are there any glaring flaws i'm missing here?

The S-Bahn is no regional train alright. It's a commuter type train. Connecting within the city and surrounding areas.

vultschlange I agree, but Hamburg is a region, so maybe that’s why he called it that

vultschlange what a different between Reginal and Commuter train anyway?

@@alpzepta Regional trains typically connect between wide regions, think Amtrak's Northeast Corridor. People don't usually commute to work and back on these lines, though some do, perhaps on a more weekly basis. Commuter trains, on the other hand, serve far smaller locales, typically a city and its surrounding suburbs. Good examples of commuter trains are the trains people take daily for work, think JR East's Chuo Line. Many Railway companies don't distinguish commuter and regional trains, so some might grow up thinking they're the same thing. In this case Germany gives a clear distinction between the Hamburg S-Bahn and DB's actual regional rail service (InterRegio, Regionalbahn, Regional-Express, etc.)
