History
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]
