History
In September 2014, Arriva launched the Max brand for interurban express services. The first services were Arriva North East's routes X10 and X11 Newcastle upon Tyne to Blyth.[1][2]
The brand has since been rolled out by Arriva Buses Wales, Arriva Shires & Essex and Arriva Yorkshire with a series of launches with Titan the Robot.[3][4][5][6][7][8]
Vehicles
Buses have leather seats, free WiFi, and a modified livery. Vehicles are refurbished vehicles with the Arriva North East and Arriva Yorkshire routes using Wright Gemini 2 bodied VDL DB300s. Arriva Shires & Essex are using Mercedes-Benz Citaros.
