plc</b> is a British <a href="/wiki/Multinational_corporation" title="Multinational corporation">multinational</a> <a href="/wiki/Public_transport" title="Public transport">public transport</a> company headquartered in <a href="/wiki/Sunderland" title="Sunderland">Sunderland</a>, England. </p><p>The company was originally established on 24 October 1938 as <b>T Cowie Ltd.</b> Initially focused on the sale of <a href="/wiki/Motorcycle" title="Motorcycle">motorcycles</a>, it relaunched shortly after the <a href="/wiki/Second_World_War" class="mw-redirect" title="Second World War">Second World War</a> by <a href="/wiki/Tom_Cowie" title="Tom Cowie">Tom Cowie</a>. During December 1964, the company was <a href="/wiki/Initial_public_offering" title="Initial public offering">floated</a>, it acquired its first car dealership months later. In 1972, the company established Cowie Contract Hire, a successful contract hire business. T. Cowie entered into bus operations via the purchase of the <a href="/wiki/London" title="London">London</a>-based <a href="/wiki/Grey-Green" title="Grey-Green">Grey-Green</a> operator in 1980. During 1984, it acquired the Hanger Group along with the <a href="/wiki/Vehicle_leasing" title="Vehicle leasing">vehicle leasing business</a> Interleasing. In April 1994, the company was renamed Cowie Group. Months later, Cowie Group acquired the <a href="/wiki/Arriva_London" title="Arriva London">Leaside Buses</a> and <a href="/wiki/Arriva_London" title="Arriva London">South London Transport</a> business units amid the wider <a href="/wiki/Privatisation_of_London_bus_services" title="Privatisation of London bus services">privatisation of London bus services</a>. During 1997, it also bought the <a href="/wiki/Denmark" title="Denmark">Denmark</a>-based operator Unibus, becoming its first venture based outside the United Kingdom. </p><p>During November 1997, the company was rebranded as Arriva. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, it disposed of its vehicle-hire and motor-retailing businesses. In February 2000, Arriva purchased <a href="/wiki/MTL_(transport_company)" title="MTL (transport company)">MTL Holdings</a>, which included its first UK rail franchises, <a href="/wiki/Arriva_Trains_Merseyside" title="Arriva Trains Merseyside">Merseyrail Electrics</a> and <a href="/wiki/Arriva_Trains_Northern" title="Arriva Trains Northern">Northern Spirit</a>. In April 2008, the <a href="/wiki/Arriva_TrainCare" title="Arriva TrainCare">LNWR</a> train maintenance business was acquired. Arriva became a subsidiary of <a href="/wiki/Deutsche_Bahn" title="Deutsche Bahn">Deutsche Bahn</a> in August 2010. Arriva operates bus, coach, train, tram and waterbus services in 10 countries across Europe. As of November 2023, it employed 35,500 people and operated 1.5 billion passenger journeys annually.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> It operates as three divisions: <a href="/wiki/Arriva_UK_Bus" title="Arriva UK Bus">UK Bus</a>, <a href="/wiki/Arriva_UK_Trains" title="Arriva UK Trains">UK Rail</a> and Mainland Europe.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Deutsche Bahn announced in 2019 that it wished to sell Arriva, but such a sale was placed on hold as of November in that year. During the early 2020s, several of Arriva's continental European operations have been sold on.

As part of the rebranding the operations were renamed as <a href="/wiki/Arriva_Derby" title="Arriva Derby">Arriva Derby</a>, <a href="/wiki/Arriva_Fox_County" class="mw-redirect" title="Arriva Fox County">Arriva Fox County</a> etc. </p><p>A uniform livery of aquamarine (pantone 321) with a cream coloured semicircle at the front with a yellow skirt and signwriting was adopted. This livery was adopted by most by Arriva's European acquisitions as well as <a href="/wiki/Arriva_Trains_Northern" title="Arriva Trains Northern">Arriva Trains Northern</a> and <a href="/wiki/Arriva_Trains_Wales" title="Arriva Trains Wales">Arriva Trains Wales</a>. The same livery was applied to the <a href="/wiki/Arriva_London" title="Arriva London">Arriva London</a> fleet albeit with red in lieu of aquamarine to comply with a <a href="/wiki/Transport_for_London" title="Transport for London">Transport for London</a> requirement for buses to be 80% red. London vehicles are now painted all-over red to comply with Transport for London's amended requirements. </p><p>In the mid-2000s, an aquamarine livery with less cream, a dark blue skirt and yellow stripe was adopted for some longer distance services in the United Kingdom. The first buses to carry this new style were 3 Northern Counties Palatine II DAF DB250s based at the <a href="/wiki/Arriva_Southern_Counties" title="Arriva Southern Counties">Arriva Southern Counties</a> Gillingham garage for routes 700/701 between Medway Towns and <a href="/wiki/Bluewater_(shopping_centre)" class="mw-redirect" title="Bluewater (shopping centre)">Bluewater</a>. Dubbed the interurban livery, in September 2009 it was decided to adopt this livery as standard for all UK buses. Most European operations retain the old livery, although some Czech buses have also received it. In December 2008 Arriva Trains Wales unveiled a dark blue livery on its <a href="/wiki/British_Rail_Mark_2" title="British Rail Mark 2">Mark 2</a> carriages, this has since been adopted as its
