SNCF travel website has a new name

Rebranding after takeover

Published Thursday 21 December 2017 - 12:30 Modified Thursday 21 December 2017 - 12:30

Rail giant SNCF is changing the name of its website Voyages-SNCF.com to OUI.sncf.

It joins InOUI for top-end TGV trains, OUIgo for the low-cost ones, Ouibus for coach transport and Ouicar for person-to-person car rentals.

The name change comes as SNCF aims to attract an extra 15million passengers by 2020.
