CrossCountry is a Train Operating Company and is part of the Arriva group. It is the most extensive rail network in the UK. Stretching from Aberdeen to Penzance, and from Stansted to Cardiff, it calls at over 100 stations.

At Arriva we want to find the very best people to help us transform our business.
