Arriva Scotland West
Encyclopedia
Arriva Scotland West Ltd is a bus
operating subsidiary of Arriva
based in Inchinnan
, near Paisley
, Scotland
, trading simply as Arriva. It is currently the group's sole operation in Scotland.
area, operate over 16 million passenger journeys a year, and approximately 200 vehicles from two depots at Inchinnan and Johnstone
in an area bounded by Largs
to the west and south, Duntocher
to the north, and Glasgow
to the east. It is the dominant bus operator throughout Renfrewshire
, including the towns of Paisley
, Barrhead
, Johnstone
, Renfrew
and Erskine
.
In addition, the company operates the Glasgow Flyer
service between Glasgow International Airport
and Glasgow City Centre. Arriva also operate two other bus links to the airport, from Paisley town centre and from Clydebank (both branded as Arriva).
Clydeside was created as Clydeside Scottish
in 1985 from the northern operations of Western SMT
to prepare the state-owned parent company, the Scottish Bus Group
, for deregulation
of the bus industry and eventual privatisation. At the time, Clydeside's operating area was much larger, covering Inverclyde
(including the towns of Gourock
and Greenock
), the Isle of Bute
and much of the south side of Glasgow. Clydeside was re-merged with Western Scottish
(Western SMT's successor company) in 1989 in an attempt to make it more financially viable. However, on the privatisation of Western Scottish the Clydeside operations were sold to management and employees as Clydeside 2000 plc. Luton & District also took a 23% stake in the new company. Clydeside began rationalising some of its operations, and depots at Largs, Paisley and Thornliebank
were closed, the latter as a result of a reduction in operations within Glasgow.
British Bus purchased the company in 1994, having just completed the take over of shareholder Luton & District, and the new parent company began investing heavily in the ageing fleet. A more vibrant red, white and yellow livery was introduced, and new "Flagship" routes were created to raise quality levels.
The main competitor in Greenock, Ashton Coaches, was purchased along with 62 buses in July 1997. The Greenock operations were re-branded GMS Greenock Motor Services, using Ashton's white, green and gold livery, in order to more effectively combat the plethora of small operators in the town. Long established independent operator McGill's Bus Services of Barrhead
was also purchased in the same month, and initially continued to operate under its own identity. A stake was also taken in Dart Buses
of Paisley, another competitor, though this operator would soon go out of business.
In 1997 the main operations became Arriva Scotland West Ltd, trading as Arriva Serving Scotland - that description suggesting a much larger area than actually covered - and the corporate livery of aquamarine and cream introduced. The company flirted with operations outside its operating area, successfully securing tenders to operate services in Cumbernauld
(where a depot was established for a short time) and south east Glasgow, though these were short-lived.
Further rationalisation took place in 2002, with the Inverclyde operations being sold to local management. Confusingly, the new operation was created as McGill's Bus Service Ltd - the company name and operating licence having been purchased with McGill's of Barrhead - based in Port Glasgow
, and employing a livery of blue, white and gold in the same styles as both Arriva and the GMS division, depending on what type of vehicle it was applied to. At the same time, the Barrhead depot, originally belonging to the initial McGill's Bus Service, was closed and operations concentrated on the two remaining depots.
Recently, as with Arriva's other operations throughout the United Kingdom
, the regional 'descriptor' of "Serving Scotland" has been dropped, and the company simply trades as Arriva.
In 2007, BAA awarded the new Glasgow Flyer
500 service to Arriva, which al bought several specially liveried Volvo B7RLE
/Wright Eclipse
for the service. As a result the 905 Airlink service, jointly operated with Fairline Coaches under contract to Scottish Citylink
, has ended; however Fairline have since started an independent service numbered 905.
In August 2010 the company, along with First Glasgow
, were banned by the area Traffic Commissioner from registering any new services into Glasgow city centre for six months after being found guilty of breaching regulations by picking up and dropping off passengers at locations other than their designated bus stops. One other operator was also banned.
