The SNCF made a profit of 1.3 billion euros last year. The public group is in the green for the third consecutive year.

But the French have good reasons to no longer have Chimène's eyes on the historic railway operator. Repeated strikes during the holidays, stratospheric ticket prices, full trains a few hours after sales opened… The French have always played “Je t'aime moi non plus” with the SNCf. But, today, they have good reason to no long have Chimère's eyes.
