Transillien is just the name of the suburban train service of the SNCF in Paris metro area.


It is a branding like TGV, Corail or TER.





T4 is a old suburban train line that was converted in the Tram Train line.





T2 is also in an old suburban line (Moulineaux line), RATP transformed it in a tramway line.
