Arriva Colchester

Bus operation commenced in 1928 as Colchester Corporation Transport to replace the trams.

The tuscan red and cream livery was replaced by Arriva corporate colours.

Profits did not improve and in 2004 the company was sold to Tellings-Golden Miller, placed under the control of Burton's Coaches[1] and rebranded as Network Colchester.

In early 2010 the Burton's Coaches business was sold to Yellow Star Travel Services[6] in a management buy out but ownership of Network Colchester remained with Tellings-Golden Miller.
