R5

The Southern Link (also R5, RegioXPress Line 1) is a RegioXPress line in Kingston and Boyce and connects the 4 main cities of Kingston, Boyce, Columbia and Portland with each other and with all minor stations in between. Other than the name suggests, it is not the main used RegioXPress line, but the first established. It runs twice per hour and uses a Class 136.1 as the engine, pulling 5 Bi-Level Cars. In Peak hours, another Bi-Level Car is added to the train.

It takes 96 minutes for the train to get from Kingston Central to Portland Central, stopping only at Boyce Central for longer than a minute due to a directional change.
