Our Legal Officer, Guillem Ochoa attended the 2025 annual conference of the Association Française du Rail (AFRA) – the French Association representing new entrants in passenger and freight rail.

We warmly congratulate the independent operator Transdev and the French Région Sud (South Region) on the official launch of the Marseille-Toulon-Nice passenger rail service on 29 June 2025. 

This is the first time in France that a regional Public Service Obligation ("PSO") rail concession has been awarded to and is operated by an independent operator, following a competitive tender.

This is a major milestone in EU rail reform.

On 4th June 2024, Laurent Mazille, Public Affairs Director at Transdev, received the insignia of Chevalier of the National Order of Merit during a ceremony at the French Senate.

Gemini is a new operator that plans to offer competitive fares and high-quality, long-distance high-speed rail services between the EU and the United Kingdom, using the Channel Tunnel.
