local trains
Every-stop rail service
Local trains are passenger rail services that stop at all or most stations along a route, distinguishing them from express trains that skip intermediate stops.
The term applies across contexts from urban subway systems to regional rail lines.
Taking a local train means a longer journey but access to smaller stations that express services bypass.
The local train added twenty minutes to my commute, but it was the only one that stopped at my station.
