Region is most commonly a geographical term that is used in various ways among the different branches of geography. In general, a region is a medium-scale area of land or water, smaller than the whole areas of interest (which could be, for example, the world, a nation, a river basin, mountain range, and so on), and larger than a specific site. A region may be seen as a collection of smaller units (as in "the New England states") or as one part of a larger whole (as in "the New England region of the United States"). Regions can be defined by physical characteristics, human characteristics, and functional characteristics.

As a way of describing spatial areas, the concept of regions is important and widely used among the many branches of geography, each of which can describe areas in regional terms. For example, ecoregion is a term used in environmental geography, cultural region in cultural geography, bioregion in biogeography, and so on. The field of geography that studies regions themselves is called regional geography.

What is the difference between regional and direct trenitalia trains?
Q. I'm going to be taking a train from Bergamo to Milan and back at the end of the month. The fastest option shows up with a D symbol on trenitalia's website and goes into Milano Centrale. The others go into Lambrate and Porta Garibaldi. These have an R symbol. I think I've worked out that D train is direct and the R trains are regional from their website. Are there any surcharges or do you have to reserve a seat on the direct trains into Milano Centrale? The trains are all short-distance within Lombardy.

A. There are actually 4 classes of train - Regionale - slowest, least comfortable. Best to use if you are going to small village stations. They are the cheapest and get there in the end! Diretto - cuts out some of the smaller stations but not the fastest trains in the world. UK commuter standard (and every bit as reliable). Express - City-to-city and until recently the top service. More expensive than the two above but trust us, its worth it! Eurostar - luxury and very fast trains. More expensive again but worth it for longer journeys. You pay for the distance, so its not cheaper to get a return than two singles, and you don't have to get the same class of train in each direction. It is a good idea to book Eurostar or Express seats… [cont.]
