The Italian railway company Trenitalia continues its expansion in France with ambitious plans for 2025. After entering the French market in 2021, it is set to launch new lines that promise to revolutionize the railway transport landscape. With connections between major cities like Paris, Marseille, and Milan, Trenitalia aims to offer travelers an attractive alternative to SNCF while strengthening its presence in French territory.
New railway horizons #
Trenitalia’s ambitions do not stop at its first network. The company plans to launch new connections that should attract many travelers. Among the notable destinations is the Paris-Marseille line which, starting from June 15, 2025, will offer four daily round trips. A quick journey of 3h20 will thus connect the French capital to the Phocaean city, with stops in key cities like Lyon, Avignon, and Aix-en-Provence.
The reopening of the Paris-Milan line #
Another significant point in the expansion plans is the reopening of the Paris-Milan line, which was interrupted due to landslide-related works in 2023. This service will resume as of April 2025, with two daily rotations. This historic route will be a major asset for Trenitalia, allowing it to attract both business and leisure travelers eager to explore Nouvelle-Aquitaine and Piemonte.
Impact on the French railway market #
With the arrival of Trenitalia, competition is intensifying on the French railway network. Data shows that the introduction of competition has had a positive impact on certain routes benefiting passengers. Indeed, ticket prices have generally decreased, making train travel even more accessible. This phenomenon is good news, not only for Trenitalia but also for SNCF, which is pushed to renew itself and improve its offers.

A quality service for travelers #
Trenitalia is committed to providing superior comfort and quality service to its passengers. The trains, recognizable by their red color, feature modern equipment and relaxation areas, allowing travelers to enjoy their journey in a pleasant setting. These efforts aim to satisfy an increasingly demanding clientele that values comfort and efficiency during its travels.
By 2025 #
With these initiatives, Trenitalia is positioned to double its passenger numbers in France, potentially reaching six million travelers by 2025. This not only reflects a healthy company but also a profound shift in travel behaviors. Passengers are seeking practical, fast, and sustainable mobility solutions, and Trenitalia seems to be on the right track to meet these expectations.
