The Basmane-Ödemiş Regional (Turkish: Basmane-Ödemiş Bölgesel Ekspresi ) is a regional rail service operated by the Turkish State Railways. The train has operated from Basmane Terminal in İzmir to the town of Ödemiş.

History

Passenger service between İzmir and Ödemiş dates back to 1884, when the Oriental Railway Company (ORC) built the line. TCDD took over operations in 1935 and operated a train on the route. Service was increased in 1971. In 2006, trains would terminate at Gaziemir, rather than go into İzmir, because of construction, but in 2009 service continued into İzmir once again.
