History
Arriva PCC SA134 multiple unit at Toruń Główny station in July 2008

The company was founded in 2006 as Arriva PCC, as a 50/50 joint venture between Arriva and PCC Rail.[1] In December 2007, Arriva PCC commenced a contract to operate all non-electrified passenger lines in the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship.[2][3][4]

In June 2009, PCC Rail's share was included in its sale to Deutsche Bahn.[5] In June 2010 Arriva bought Deutsche Bahn's shareholding and renamed the business Arriva RP.[6][7] In December 2010 Arriva RP won a 10-year extension to its Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship contract.[8][9]

In December 2013 Arriva RP commenced operating trains on four electrified lines in the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship for two years with 12 existing trains.[10][11] In September 2017, Arriva RP secured some open access paths in Poland.[12]
