A powerful reminder of why we do, what we do at @ArrivaUKBus. We received a message from Katelyn, a student thanking our X2 and X3 services for making education more accessible. We're proud to deliver great public transport, creating opportunity and access to a better future.

We’re launching a new 4 for £4 ticket to make it easier for people to choose the bus this Christmas season, across both our Milton Keynes and Luton & Dunstable networks. It’s a small, simple step to support modal shift for nights out, shopping trips and festive get-togethers.

The @youngbuspros conference is on in Southampton this week. Our 90+ attendees gathered first at Hants & Dorset Trim in Eastleigh to see all the great work here behind the scenes. Another packed agenda and great opportunity for networking across our sector.

Seamless integration in action: an Arriva Z bus to Luton Airport, a flight, then straight onto an Arriva express service into central Budapest. 🚌✈️ That journey bookended a summer of back-to-school network planning with our ALPS leadership learning session; plenty to takeaway.

Aston Martin DB4: 240bhp, 140mph, design icon. Greenline 757: comfy seats, lots of leg room, air-con, and unbeatable value - on a brand icon. Guess which one we’re actually going home in… 💚

Our new Busway fleet carry a clear message of fast and frequent buses straight to London Luton Airport terminal - no other mode gets you closer. With over £9 million invested, they form part of a significantly enhanced, turn-up-and-go network connecting key destinations.

That's a wrap on day one! A busy Sunday, with the road network proving quite challenging, but really heartening to see our drivers helping customers through the transition to the new services. Great to welcome new customers in Linmere and Thorn too - a really encouraging start.

Andrew’s legacy is one of humble, inspired leadership. Few of his calibre come along often, and we’re all so lucky to have been touched by his warmth and kindness. I feel incredibly fortunate to have been part of GSC under his stewardship; he’ll be sorely missed. Rest well 🤍

A trip to Leighton Buzzard on Friday to mark two years since we kicked off service. A little melancholic knowing we’ll be saying goodbye at the end of the month, but immensely proud of what our local team has achieved. So many kind words from customers these past few weeks.

Just happened to *genuinely* stumble across not one, but TWO MCW Metrobuses in Cyprus. New to West Mids. and latterly with Travel deCourcey, where I fondly remember them in service, these prestige and immaculate examples live on with semi-regular use for weddings. Beautiful!

The Loop is a circular bus route designed to connect more places across the city – with no need to change buses. Whether it’s work, uni, shopping or seeing friends – The Loop makes getting around simpler. Already running across the city. https://t.co/i4pw7jkLHG
