(31 Oct 2015, 6:47 pm)B10man He's right 4917 is one of the worst ones along with 5160.4917 is a lovely bus. In my opinion, the only bad Renowns are 5151-5160, 5166 -5171. The only Renowns (which have since been withdrawn) I've had a problem with is the rest of that batch, 5151-65.
5160 still on road, used around metrocentre if anyone wants last photo, not in service though

In my experience; both 4916 and 4917 are some of the nicest Wright Renowns in the fleet. They're immaculate internally and it doesn't take very long for them to reach a decent speed. Speaking personally, my least favourite of the ''thoroughbred'' (not dual-door) type within the fleet is 4925, and the now-departed 4843 was also horrific. Only endured one journey on 4925, and the seats managed to fall out of place because of the poor brakes slamming on at every halt.

It wasn't my brightest idea.

A renown was taken out of service today at the Metrocentre on service 49A. We had to change buses onto a branded Blaydon Racers citaro.
