History
editOn 1 January 2016, the three administrative regions of Alsace, Lorraine and Champagne-Ardenne merged. As a result, on 11 December 2016, TER Grand Est was created out of the three existing systems TER Alsace, TER Lorraine and TER Champagne-Ardenne, including TER 200 and TER Vallée de la Marne.
In spring 2019, TER Grand Est was integrated into the intermodal network Fluo Grand Est. The new branding is used to signify TER train services operated in the region.[1]
After a competitive tender process held in 2024, a subsidiary of Transdev was awarded a 22-year concession to operate services on the Nancy to Contrexéville line, scheduled to commence in 2027 after the line (currently closed to traffic) is reopened after refurbishment. The award marked the end of SNCF’s monopoly on the operation of TER rail services for the Grand Est region. [2]
