The RE80 is a RegioExpress service that runs every half-hour between Locarno and Chiasso in the Swiss canton of Ticino, with every other train continuing to Milano Centrale in Milan, Italy. The service is operated by Treni Regionali Ticino Lombardia (TILO), a joint venture between the Swiss Federal Railways and Trenord.

The RE80 runs every half hour from Locarno to Chiasso, using the Giubiasco–Locarno line from Locarno to Sant'Antonino and the Gotthard line to Chiasso. The RE80 uses the Ceneri Base Tunnel between Sant'Antonino and Lugano, bypassing the traditional Gotthard route. South of Chiasso, every other train continues to Milano Centrale in Italy, providing hourly service between there and Locarno.[3]
