SNCF Réseau is the owner and the main manager of the French national rail network. The company is responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of the rail network, the construction of new railway lines and manages the movement of all trains on the national rail network. In 2015, SNCF Réseau employs more than 53 000 people, or one-third of SNCF’s workforce.
SNCF Réseau is organised into five departments: traffic management, engineering and projects management, maintenance and works management, network access management and the Île-de-France network management.The SNCF Gares & Connexions branch, which is part of SNCF Mobilités, will be attached to SNCF Réseau from January 2020. SNCF Réseau’s corporate customers are: SNCF Mobilités and its subsidiaries, Eurostar, Lyria, Thalys, VFLI and also CFR, CFL Cargo, Colas Rail, Comsa, ETF, ETMF, Euro Cargo Rail, Europorte, Ferrotract, Ferovergne, Normandie Rail Services, OSR France, RDT 13, Regiorail, Renfe, Sécurail, SNCB Logistics, Thello, Trenitalia, Travaux du Sud-Ouest, Meccoli. These companies operate operate trains on the SNCF Réseau’s national rail network. SNCF Réseau, as the backbone of the french rail system, is at the heart of the SNCF Group’s target through this project to give everyone the freedom to move easily while preserving the planet. To this end SNCF Réseau launched in 2018 very big ambitious project called “Nouvel’R”. This project is defining SNCF Réseau’s strategic orientations to prepare the network of the future, by running more trains thanks to innovative operating systems that combine digital technologies and new operating modes.
The project targets a better operating system of the rail network, improving the quality of service and security, system reliability and operational robustness everywhere, particularly at major railway junctions, enabling the development of traffic for SNCF customers and attract new ones, improve economic performance so that rail, by its nature environmentally friendly, gains market share on other modes of transport.
