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.

However, the Endurance was also built in small numbers on other chassis types including sixteen Scania N113 chassis for Midland Bluebird. Merseyside's examples continued to see active service with successor Arriva North West, however all examples were withdrawn by October 2011, although a small number remain in service with Arriva Scotland West.

The Endurance was superseded by low-floor bodies, the Liberator on Volvo B10L chassis and the Renown on Volvo B10BLE chassis.
