Are there cross country but regional rail lines?


Yes, there are! For example, I have travelled between Strasbourg and Basel (Switzerland) on a regional train, as well as between Milan and Nice, and between Nice and Barcelona (changing trains at the Spanish border due to the change of rail gauge). There's also a regional line connecting Barcelona and Puigcerdà (a town in the Spanish Pyrenees) which at certain times continues its service a further ~5km and terminates in Latour-de-Carol, a tiny village on the French side which is served by French regional services.


There are also trains between Denmark and Sweden, and I'd be surprised if there's not similar things going on in the Benelux area.


True. In fact, that reminded me that I have also taken regional trains between Copenhagen and Malmö.
