A tram-train is a type of light rail vehicle that both meets the standards of a light rail system, and also national mainline standards. Tramcars are adapted to be capable of running on streets like an urban tramway but also be permitted operation alongside mainline trains.

It combines the urban accessibility of a tram or light rail with a mainline train's greater speed in the suburbs.
