A service will be back for SNCF users. On Tuesday August 8, 2023, the railway company announced in a press release, of which BFM TV echoes, the resumption of luggage lockers. Only, they will not be installed directly at the entrance to the stations but close. This service has been relaunched in partnership with the start-up Nannybag, in around thirty stations, the Gares & Connexions service announced. Thus, whether in Paris Saint-Lazare, Bayonne, La Rochelle, Grenoble, Nice or even Metz, lockers are installed in shops or hotels located nearby. They will be able to allow travelers to deposit bags, suitcases or strollers for a few hours or several days. It will be necessary to take care to make the reservation upstream via the application. The price of the locker is set at 6 euros per day and per piece of luggage.
SNCF has chosen to partner with a French company
As a reminder, in some major French stations, the locker service was still present. But it had disappeared over the years for security reasons but also for profitability. To respond to user requests, certain bars or hotels located near stations had taken over, but did not scan the luggage as the SNCF could do at the station. With the partnership launched with the Nannybag app, this will again be the case. This French company launched in 2016 has managed to increase its number of places of reception, its capital acquired at 49% by La Poste. Thus, it is present in various Accor hotels or Franprix and Carrefour supermarkets. “These setpoints are now identified by the SNCF in its Ma Gare application”remind our colleagues of BFM TV. Here is the list of the different stations that will now offer the luggage storage service via the SNCF: Amiens, Arcachon, Avignon Centre, Beaune, Biarritz, Bourg-Saint-Maurice, Clermont-Ferrand, Lourdes, Massy TGV, Nancy, Nantes, Nîmes, Paris Bercy, Pau, Rennes, Rouen Right Bank, Saint-Etienne Châteaucreux, Saint-Jean-de-Luz Ciboure, Toulon, Toulouse Matabiau, Tours and Vichy.
