History

The company grew out the Cowie motor retail business which gradually bought various UK bus companies from 1980 onwards. It is the second largest bus operator in the UK and one of the big five operators that have come to dominate the UK bus market since deregulation, the others being Firstgroup (the largest), Stagecoach, Go-Ahead and National Express. The Arriva brand was introduced on its numerous bus operations in 1997. Along with the other major bus groups Arriva also moved into rail operations following privatisation. Also in 1997 Arriva made its first move into the continental European market with acquisition of Danish firm Unibus Holdings. Bus deregulation in Great Britain came into force on 26 October 1986, and is formally known as the 1985 Transport Act. ...

Livery

The company uses a corporate livery adapted according to the vehicle types, whether bus or train. The livery features an aquamarine base colour with Cotswold Stone colour sections on the upper front separated by a white stripe. A thin yellow stripe runs around the base of the vehicle, and the same colour is used for any lettering required. In London, Arriva are forced to adapt the livery to suit Transport for London regulations, so red is used as a base colour, with cream "ice-cream scoops" or "horns". Latterly, the vehicles have been all-over red, with almost no trace of the Arriva corporate livery. There is a new "express" livery with blue skirt and "cow's horns" (like London) instead of the Cotswold Stone Swoop. For "Airlink" services 500 (Liverpool City Centre Circular — Liverpool John Lennon Airport) and 700 (Manchester City Centre Circular — Liverpool John Lennon Airport) the livery used is normal except that the aquamarine is dark blue. London is the capital city of the United Kingdom and of England and is the most populous city in the European Union. ...
