Bretagne-Pays de la Loire

SNCF réseau is committed to developing rail transport for passengers and goods. We have a wide range of customers, including railway undertakings, ports, multimodal platforms and industrial sidings. 

To meet their needs, dedicated SNCF Réseau teams offer tailor-made tools (platform hire, sidings allocation, development of information systems, monitoring of train path construction, etc.). 

SNCF Réseau works closely with all stakeholders, including local authorities that have modal shift projects in their area. What's more, when it comes to rail freight, whether conventional or containerised, shippers and freight forwarders are a key element in the success of the rail/road modal shift. 

To develop the rail network, we rely on an industrial sector made up of French companies of all sizes, spread throughout the country. In the Bretagne-Pays de la Loire region, more than €370 million was spent in 2023 on the supply of machinery and materials needed for works, engineering services and other services... The impact of our activities on the local economy is very real! 

As mobility organising authorities, the Regions are our partners in developing the rail network throughout the country. We have been bound by two performance contracts since 2022. They commit us to working together to develop a more reliable service for regional train users, with a better quality of service. In exchange, the Regions finance part of the works carried out on the regional networks. 

As manager of infrastructure capacity, SNCF Réseau also provides the Regions with support and advice on a range of issues: construction of timetables and train paths, assessment of the impact of planned works on services, and major development projects such as the Metropolitan Regional Express Services.
