The French arm of the company, Thello, it would like to begin by operating return journeys between Paris and Milan, with a stop in Lyon, within the next year. It also wants to operate Paris-Bordeaux and Paris-Brussels services eventually, it said.

The confirmation comes after Thello CEO Roberto Rinaudo last year stated the company鈥檚 intention to 鈥渄evelop international, high-speed service lines from France by 2020鈥�.

In response to the move by Trenitalia, an SNCF spokesperson : 鈥淭he main ambition of this service is to expand the international transport offer of Trenitalia. At least for the first year or few years, Italian clients will be the main targets for this service.鈥�

The news comes three months after SNCF R茅seau said it was in talks with two rail operators about their potential introduction to the French market at the end of 2020, for 鈥渕ain non-subsidised lines鈥� - essentially TGV (trains 脿 grande vitesse) high-speed rail.
