SNCF Voyageurs (English: SNCF Travelers) is a state-owned enterprise founded on 1 January 2020,[1] an independent subsidiary of the French National Railway Company (SNCF), in charge of operating passenger trains.[2]
Its predecessor is (partially) SNCF Mobilités EPIC which was founded on 1 January 2015.
Business scope[edit]
Its first CEO is Christophe Fanichet. He was appointed by SNCF President Jean-Pierre Farandou.[3]
Its divisions are:[4]
- Voyages SNCF: operates trains in France and Europe, including the flagship TGV inOui high-speed rail service, the low-cost Ouigo high-speed rail service, and Intercités traditional long-distance services.

History[edit]
On 1 January 2020, the 3 EPIC companies and their subsidiaries become one state-owned group consisting of a parent company with its subsidiaries: SNCF Voyageurs, SNCF Réseau, Rail Logistics Europe, Keolis and Geodis. The previous SNCF Mobilités is dismantled. SNCF Gares & Connexions is integrated to the new SNCF Réseau company, while the logistics activities, rail freight (Geodis and FRET SNCF) and Keolis have directly joined the parent company. TGV inOui service, along with the low cost Ouigo TGV service, Intercités traditional long-distance services, TER, RER, Transilien regional services and the web site Oui.sncf become this new company named SNCF Voyageurs.[4][5]
