\"\u00a0The promise of one train per hour has been kept, and regularity stands at 97.2% against a target of 97.5%. We have carried 2.5 million passengers since the beginning of July, which represents an increase of 22% compared with the same period last year. Of course, we are operating twice as many trains and offering more frequencies, with up to 16 round trips a day. Customer satisfaction has risen to 4.7 out of 5, thanks to new equipment that meets customer expectations.<\/em>\u00a0\"Claude Steinmetz, Chairman of Transdev Rail, is delighted with the results.\u00a0confident for 2026<\/em>\u00a0\".<\/p>\n

The carrier, which was initially obliged to lease some of the trainsets, is now operating all 16 trainsets ordered from Alstom. \"\u00a0Some 190 people work on this operation, including former SNCF railway workers that we have taken over, as well as new blood, on-board staff and drivers that we have trained. Our teams work closely with SNCF networks and Gares & Connexions to constantly improve our service.<\/em>he adds.
