The Wright Endurance is a step-entrance, single-deck bus body built by Wrightbus between 1993 and 1997. ==History== The large majority of Endurances were built on Volvo B10B chassis, including quite large fleets for the privatised former PTE companies - in particular Merseyside based MTL North who took 120, West Midlands Travel who took 67 and Greater Manchester-based GM Buses North who took 55. The Endurance was also built on sixteen Scania N113 chassis for Midland Bluebird, and similar bodywork with alternative names was built on two different Mercedes-Benz chassis types (see below). Merseyside's examples were operated by MTL and were delivered between 1994 and 1996 for the Merseybus (87), Lancashire Travel (13), MTL Fareway (10), Southport and District (8) and MTL Manchester (2) operations. Merseyside's examples continued to see active service with successor Arriva North West until October 2011 - however as of April 2012 seven remain in use as training vehicles with the company. A small number of the Merseyside Endurances remained in service for slightly longer - albeit with Arriva Scotland West - until the company was sold to McGill's. Bus Éireann took nine for use in Cork (seven) and Limerick (two), these being the only examples built to dual-door layout. The Endurance was superseded by low-floor bodies, the Liberator on Volvo B10L chassis and the Renown on Volvo B10BLE chassis. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wright Endurance」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
