As Arriva is a different company, opposed to a company who has taken over Northern Rail Limited, they have no rights to use the current logo unless they buy those rights from Northern Rail Limited.

I know that's the case. Telf23 asked why Northern Rail are in the process of debranding and I explained that as it's a new company taking over the operation of the Northern franchise there will be a new name, branding and livery. Personally I'm not the biggest fan of the Northern Rail livery (or the interiors) so I won't be too sad to see those go. The Arriva Rail North livery does look really smart (based on the rendering of the new Civity UK units) and I'm looking forward to seeing what the new interiors will look like too
