Livery
The main corporate Arriva livery is aquamarine for the body, with a cream "swoop" at the front and a white separator line in between, blue Arriva “circles” logos, and a thin yellow line at skirt level. There are many variations of the livery, such as:
- Interurban livery – Aquamarine, with dark blue band to skirt level and cream “cow-horns” (a thined version of the champagne "swoop").
- London livery - The original London livery was red, with champagne “cow-horns” as in the interurban livery, orange Arriva “circles” logo and a thin yellow line at skirt level. The new London livery is completely red, with the thin yellow line at skirt level and the Arriva “circles” in plain white.
- Bluewater livery - No longer used, the Bluewater livery was allover blue, with a water shimmer effect. The services using this livery were replaced by Fastrack in 2006.
As well as this, many vehicles operating under different schemes run in different liveries, for example Fastrack and Maidstone Park and Ride.

Famous quotes containing the word livery:
“Whether, if you yield not to your father’s choice,
You can endure the livery of a nun,
For aye to be in shady cloister mewed,
To live a barren sister all your life,
Chanting faint hymns to the cold fruitless moon.
Thrice blessed they that master so their blood
To undergo such maiden pilgrimage.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“This death’s livery which walled its bearers from ordinary life was sign that they have sold their wills and bodies to the State: and contracted themselves into a service not the less abject for that its beginning was voluntary.”
—T.E. (Thomas Edward)
