History
On 1 January 2020, the 3 EPIC companies and their subsidiaries became 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 Mobilité was dismantled. SNCF Gares & Connexions was integrated to the new SNCF Réseau company, while the logistics activities, rail freight (Geodis and FRET SNCF) and Keolis directly joined the parent company. The 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 became a new company named SNCF Voyageurs.[5][6]
