During 1999, Arriva established [[NoordNed]] as a joint venture company with the Dutch state-owned passenger rail company [[Nederlandse Spoorwegen]].<ref name=ArrivaNetherlands/> In 2003, the company took full ownership of the former joint venture,<ref name=ArrivaNetherlands/> opting to drop the NoordNed branding two years later. During 2005, Arriva was awarded a 15-year contract to operate trains from [[Groningen (city)|Groningen]] to [[Leeuwarden]], [[Delfzijl]], [[Roodeschool]] and [[Nieuweschans]]. It also secured a contract to operate trains from Leeuwarden to [[Harlingen, Netherlands|Harlingen Haven]] and to [[Stavoren]]. Later that year, it secured a contract to operate trains from [[Dordrecht]] to [[Gorinchem]] and on to [[Geldermalsen]] ([[MerwedeLingelijn]]).<ref name=ArrivaNetherlands/> In 2012, Arriva commenced operating trains in the Achterhoek and between [[Zwolle]] and [[Emmen, Netherlands|Emmen]]; these services operate under the [[Spurt (Dutch Railways)|Spurt]] brand.

On 21 June 2013, Arriva was selected to operate a new service between [[The Hague]] and [[Brussels]].<ref>[http://www.railwaygazette.com/news/passenger/single-view/view/arriva-selected-to-operate-den-haag-brussels-inter-city-service.html "Arriva selected to operate Den Haag – Brussels inter-city service"] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151211043647/http://www.railwaygazette.com/news/passenger/single-view/view/arriva-selected-to-operate-den-haag-brussels-inter-city-service.html |date=11 December 2015 }}.

''International Rail Journal''. 21 June 2013.</ref> Service was set to start in December 2015, but the project was cancelled in 2014 because the involved parties could not agree upon a final business case and because NS reactivated the original service to Brussels, which made the new Arriva service unnecessary.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.treinreiziger.nl/actueel/binnenland/lage_landen_lijn_den_haag_-_brussel_gaat_niet_door-146305 |title=Lage Landen Lijn den Haag – Brussel gaat niet door |date=25 June 2014 |access-date=15 June 2016 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160822214859/http://www.treinreiziger.nl/actueel/binnenland/lage_landen_lijn_den_haag_-_brussel_gaat_niet_door-146305 |archive-date=22 August 2016 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.denhaag.nl/home/bewoners/Gemeente/document/Treindienst-Den-Haag-Brussel-1.htm |title=Den Haag – Treindienst den Haag – Brussel |access-date=15 June 2016 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150518080119/http://www.denhaag.nl/home/bewoners/Gemeente/document/Treindienst-Den-Haag-Brussel-1.htm |archive-date=18 May 2015 }}</ref>

During December 2016, Arriva acquired the majority of [[Limburg (Netherlands)|Limburg]]'s bus and train systems.<ref name="Veelgestelde vragen"/>
