The article claimed:
- VLFI now hold a passenger operators licence, and run services between Carling & Dillingen and Corbehem & Le Havre.[citation needed]
I haven't found proof of this yet but for Corbehem - Le Havre they have a car transport http://www.groupe-vfli.com/actualites/actualites.php?IDA=3 http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x603o1_461020-60244-18h34-corbehem-lehavre_tech , for Corbehem there are also car trains, but no trains to Dillingen I could find - but there are coke trains to Dillingen (from Bouzonville) see [1] [2] Please double check and correct if neccesary.

Parent company, ownership, industrial leadership[edit]
Actually, VFLI's shares are held nearly completely by a sub-sub-holding of SNCF Participations, which is called Transport Ferroviaire Holding; a small minority is held by another sub-sub-holding named Transport Ferroviaire Services. Unfortunately, the information service "verif.com" gives TLP as the shareholder, but I know that this is not really true. "verif.com" is a private company which resells information obtained from the public "infogreffe.fr" and it is all costly to get those.
Transport Ferroviaire Holding (TFH) is a subsidiary of Transport et Logistique Partenaires (TLP). TLP groups those subsidiaries held by SNCF Participations, SNCF's main holding company, which are led by the branch "SNCF Geodis". For the branch "SNCF Voyages" (long distance passenger transport), they have another sub-holding called "Voyages France Europe Partenaires" or short "VFE Partenaires".
The "Groupe SNCF" has globally and in all its five branches the "coté EPIC, coté filiale", i.e. one component of a state company (EPIC) and one component of companies governed by private law. The tree of holding companies structures this for the "filiales" part.
