Arriva North West
Encyclopedia
Arriva North West is a division of Arriva
that operates bus services around North West England
. It consists of two companies: Arriva North West Ltd and Arriva Merseyside Ltd.
Arriva North West as an operating division (distinct from the registered company Arriva North West Ltd) came into being in its present form in January 2009, when Arriva Buses Wales
was separated out from Arriva North West and Wales, although it had existed as an operating division between 1997 and 2002.
Arriva North West has a fleet of buses numbering just under 1,000.
in readiness for privatisation in 1986, with the operations in Merseyside
, West Lancashire
and Wigan
operating as North Western
. The name was taken from the former North Western
operations, which ran between 1923 and 1976. The current North Western operations were taken over by Drawlane (who would later be re-named as British Bus) in 1988, who would also took over the operations of the Bee Line Buzz Company, who ran services in Greater Manchester
. In 1996, British Bus was bought by the Cowie Group, which subsequently became Arriva
, with services re-named as Arriva North West in 1998.
In February 2000, the company acquired MTL Trust Holdings, which created a larger presence in the Merseyside
area and more than doubling the size of the company. In 2002, Arriva North West merged with Arriva Cymru and re-named as Arriva North West and Wales. Three former Arriva Midlands
depots in Crewe
, Macclesfield
and Winsford
were transferred into the North West & Wales operation, although the depot at Crewe was closed in December 2005.
Arriva expanded more in July 2005 by taking over Blue Bus of Bolton
, which almost doubled their presence in Greater Manchester. In January 2009, the Wales operation was split from Arriva North West as Arriva Buses Wales
with the Arriva North West name resurrected for the North West England operations.
Although the company is officially known as Arriva North West, some operations were originally registered under alternative Arriva names. Former Bee Line operations were registered as Arriva Manchester, some Liverpool operations and, slightly confusingly, the former Blue Bus operations were registered as Arriva Liverpool. As of Autumn 2011 a large proportion of services in Merseyside remain registered under the separate Arriva Merseyside Ltd licence.
Past depots, now closed or sold, have included:
Some Arriva services in Cheshire are run by Arriva Buses Wales.
The Dennis Dart SLF, along with its smaller variant the MPD, still makes up a significant part of the fleet, accounting for just over 200 vehicles. The last step-entrance Dennis Dart
s have been withdrawn. More recently, the VDL SB120
and SB200
have become the standard single deck types, the majority featuring Wright Cadet
, Commander
and Pulsar
bodywork; between them, these types now make up over a third of the fleet. Other new deliveries since 2007 have included ten Alexander Dennis Enviro300, four Alexander Dennis Enviro200 Darts and fifteen Optare Solo
s.
On the double-deck side of the fleet, a total of 47 new VDL DB300s with Wright Gemini 2
bodywork are being delivered to Speke and Winsford depots, the bulk of the order, 44 buses, intended for the former. 35 Alexander Dennis Enviro400s entered service in 2009, mainly displacing Volvo Olympians. Twenty-three of the Enviro400s are for routes through the Mersey Tunnels
, these being the first vehicles in the fleet to carry the interurban (now standard) variant of Arriva livery, apart from a solitary demonstrator. Previously, 30 Volvo B7TL
with Alexander ALX400
bodywork had entered service on services between Liverpool and Garston in 2006. The low floor double-deck fleet has been boosted by over 50 DAF DB250 with Alexander ALX400 bodywork from Arriva London
, as well as six Wright Eclipse Gemini
-bodied Volvos also from London, and three Dennis Tridents
with Plaxton President
bodywork that were acquired with the Blue Bus business in Bolton. The dwindling fleet of step-entrance double-deckers consists mainly of Northern Counties
bodied Volvo Olympian
s.
Unusual vehicles in the fleet include the Ikarus 481 and Polaris bodies on DAF SB220 chassis, acquired with the Blue Bus fleet. The seven Polaris bodies account for a majority of those imported. Until October 2008, twelve Neoplan N4016
were operated on service 18A from Liverpool to Croxteth Park, and were the only vehicles of their type in Britain.
Some Mercedes-Benz Citaro articulated bus
es joined the fleet from Arriva London
in 2011. Speke received two vehicles for use on AirLink service 501 in June 2011, and from September 2011, further examples found use on service 699 between the University of Liverpool and its south Liverpool halls of residence. In November 2011, articulated vehicles were first used on the AirLink 500 service between Liverpool city centre and Liverpool John Lennon Airport.
