Whereas Transdev <\/a>has been operating the Marseille-Toulon<\/a>-In Nice, the Southern Region opted on Friday to keep SNCF as operator of the East Provence and Alps lines following the call for tenders launched in 2024 as part of the opening up of rail services to competition. Passengers should therefore see no real difference in service, especially as the new 10-year contract will not start until December 2029. To stand out from its competitors, SNCF Voyageurs Sud Alpes-M\u00e9diterran\u00e9e has undertaken to lower its production costs while increasing its train capacity by 30% over the period. To achieve this, the company will have access to 25 new Regiolis trainsets, which will be purchased from the manufacturer CAF by the Sud region for \u20ac328 million. The total operating contract for SNCF is worth \u20ac1.8 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
