Arriva Poland Sp. z o. o. is a Polish private rail carrier providing services in the Kuyavian-Pomeranian, Masovian, Pomeranian and Warmian-Masurian voivodeships. It is a subsidiary of the British transport specialist Arriva.
It was established as Arriva PCC during 1996 as a 50/50 joint venture between Arriva and the private Polish rail freight operator PCC Rail. During December 2007, Arriva PCC commenced its first contract, operating all non-electrified passenger services in the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship. Following PCC Rail's acquisition by the German state railway company Deutsche Bahn in June 2009, Arriva became the sole owner of the company and accordingly rebranded it as Arriva RP.
The company has pursued multiple strategies to expansion. Throughout the 2010s, Arriva RP was awarded a multiple extensions of its operations in Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship, expanding to cover electrified services as well; furthermore, it also secured several open access paths within Poland. During October 2022, Arriva RP signed a new contract, valued at €157.5 million per year, to provide services in the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship region through to 2030. Additional services have been seasonally run to serve the travelling needs of tourists during the holiday season.
