A new beginning for SNCF Group in 2020
On 1 January 2020, we left behind our previous structure—three EPICs1 and their subsidiaries—to become one publicly-owned group consisting of a parent company with its subsidiaries: SNCF Voyageurs, SNCF Réseau, Rail Logistics Europe, Keolis and Geodis.
The parent company provides strategic guidance, management and leadership for all of the Group’s companies, but SNCF Voyageurs has full responsibility for running its own operations, working closely with customers and employees.
Long-distance and commuter mobility
SNCF Voyageurs operates the Group’s passenger trains, providing customers with shared and door-to-door mobility that delivers the high-quality, eco-friendly services they need—at the right price.
SNCF Voyageurs offers both commuter mobility and long-distance travel in France and Europe through:
- Voyages SNCF for TGV INOUI, OUIGO, Intercités, Eurostar, Thalys, TGV Lyria, TGV INOUI & ICE France–Germany, TGV INOUI & AVE France–Spain, and TGV INOUI to Italy and Luxembourg
- TER for regional trains
- Transilien for commuter trains in the Paris Region
Services also include the online travel agent OUI.sncf, France’s leading e-commerce site.

At SNCF Voyageurs, customer satisfaction and strong customer relations are top priorities. These fundamentals—along with environmental engagement and safety—guide all of its decisions, operations and structure at every level.
Every SNCF Voyageurs employee, no matter what they do or where they work, contributes to customer service excellence by working toward three essential goals: safety, on-time performance and high-quality passenger information.
