It is a massive shame lad, 2723 is still on site and the only Renown still awaiting scraps that isn't a training bus.

Yeah, they were when i started to like buses, i rode on 2724 in 2009 that made me like the ZF batch, and i think it was a Voith 2703 that got me into the Voith ones too.

Mainly the Voith ones i grew up with since St Helens only had 2729 & 2730 that were ZFs

Yep, that means no passenger service Renowns are on sight anymore, just 2 trainers left.
