Any peeps from Berlin out there?
Das ist vielleicht eine dumme Frage, aber wenn ich ein zeitgesteuertes BVG-Ticket (wahrscheinlich 7 Tage) bekomme, kann ich es dann in den D-Bahn-Regio-Zügen nutzen? Ich habe die letzte Stunde im Internet gesucht und viele Treffer gefunden, die darauf hindeuten, dass es möglich ist, aber nichts Bestimmtes. Wäre nützlich, wenn man nach Potsdam fahren möchte und die Regio-Züge halb so lange brauchen wie die S-Bahnen.
Weiß jemand?

What’s that in English?It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

Here ya go, don’t have my original text so this is google translate of my google translate.
This might be a silly question, but if I get a timed BVG ticket (probably 7 days), can I use it on the D-Bahn Regio trains? I've searched the web for the past hour and found many hits suggesting it's possible, but nothing definitive. Would be useful if you want to go to Potsdam and the regional trains take half as long as the S-Bahn.

That would be great, thanks.
From previous time in Berlin we never had to show our pass but want to remain totally street legal. My limited German isn’t up to a philosophical debate on the morals of tickets with a Berlin ticket checker dude.

It's been said that Del was a little different from the other 16 year olds in his class at school in 1979.
Glad you pointed that out, Brian, otherwise he'd have upset me again pointing out he's younger than me !
Although I will question O-levels in '79.
Hadn't they been replaced by CSE's by then?
It's chiefly a blur that far back in time. .

O' levels and CSE's ran concurrently at that time - a CSE was supposedly equivalent to a Grace C O' level, but in reality rarely wasCurrently 2009 Disco 3 SE, 2013 MY D4 HSE and 2016 D4 SE

Sorry for the delay but he wasn't back until yesterday... reply was..
"it is possible to use the Regio, however they need to make sure the ticket includes the zone to Potsdam (the destination) and not only Berlin city centre."
Also this..
