The Milan suburban railway network is a commuter rail system serving the metropolitan area of Milan, Italy.

The system comprises 10 lines serving 100 stations, for a total length of 324 km.

The core of the system is the Passante, an underground railway running through the city approximately from the north-west to the south-east. Most of lines share this track, making the service in the city centre comparable to a metro line.[1]

The service timetable is based on a clock-face scheduling.

Full service started on 12 December 2004 with the completion of the Passante and the activation of the first 8 lines. However, a shuttle service was running since 1997 in the partially-completed track.[5]

Line S4 was extended from Seveso to Camnago on 19 february 2006. The new Romolo station on Line 9 was opened 3 months later. Lines 1, 2, 6 and 10 were extended from Porta Vittoria to the new station of Rogoredo on 15 June 2008.

Two new stations, Pregnana Milanese and Rho Fiera Milano were opened in 2009. Line 8 and 11 began operation at the end of the same year, while the service was extended to reach Lodi and Treviglio.

On 26 March 2011, with the completion of the Milan Metro Line 3 north extension, a new station, Affori, was opened to be an interchange with the Metro.

On 1 May 2011 a new company, Trenord, was created from the joining of the two main regional train operators in Lombardy, Trenitalia and LeNord.[5] Trenord is since then the operator of most of suburban lines.
