Velvet obtient sa licence d'exploitation pour concurrencer la SNCF sur les lignes TGV de l'Ouest

L'entreprise française Velvet a obtenu sa licence d'exploitation pour des lignes de TGV, lui permettant de concurrencer la SNCF sur quatre liaisons de l'Ouest à partir de 2028. Elle prévoit d'opérer avec 12 trains commandés à Alstom, après avoir levé un milliard d'euros auprès d'Antin Infrastructure Partners. L'arrivée de ce nouvel opérateur privé pourrait faire baisser les tarifs de 20 à 30% sur des trajets comme Paris-Bordeaux, selon l'économiste Patricia Pérennes, tandis que la SNCF défend l'idée que ses concurrents desservent aussi les gares intermédiaires moins rentables.
