I’m now on it again headed back to CDG and to my shock, we have only stopped at Aulnay. Is this new? Is it just some trains? I tried googling RER B express and found nothing.

Regardless…this is wonderful. Soooooo fast.
While there are trains called omnibus , most often seen during busy hours, which stops at every stations along the way , however there are also train that stops at some selected stations, and one train per hour which is direct between Paris North railway station and CDG both ways

Each train has a code , i think 4 or 5 letters , each letter has a meaning and together , in similar fashion as flight code ; tells you where train starts , ends and where it will stop or not
