TER Haute-Normandie is a transport company that provides local public transport logistics for the French region of Haute-Normandie , which existed until 2015 (part of the Normandy region since 2016 ) . Like the other TER companies in France, it is co-financed by the regional government and operated by the state railway SNCF .

The company TER Haute-Normandie operates its lines on an area of ​​approximately 12,300 km² and stops at 76 train stations. Each train station has to cover an area of ​​162 km² on average. The boundaries of the traffic area are formed by the two departments of Eure (27) and Seine-Maritime (76).

In Haute-Normandie, too, the TER era began on January 1, 2002. On that day, practical cooperation between the SNCF and the regional administration began. In addition to the SNCF as the service provider for all train connections, there are also two bus companies in Haute-Normandie that take over the transport of people on the road with four bus connections.

For the year 2008, for example, the task was still to introduce a uniform cycle timetable . The modernization of the rolling stock has not yet been completed either.

The line is to be reopened for the commissioning of the new Paris - Normandy line.
