Jumbulance is a term used by the Jumbulance Trust for their coaches designed for disabled access.

The Concept of the Jumbulance was devised by the late Richard Glitheroe and his a wife a Hospice doctor

as a means of conveying sick and disabled people to Lourdes on pilgrimage and later, Holidays through the Across trust.

Description

The Jumbulance is a luxury coach/ambulance offering facilities that make travel possible for those who need extra safety, specialist medical and access facilities and comfort and would find it hard if not impossible to travel by other means of transport.[1]

Jumbulances are designed and built by the Van Hool Coach Building Company in Belgium. They are a modified coach structure but designed with travel for the disabled in mind. This includes specialist wheelchair lifts, room for storage of medical supplies, such as oxygen, heart monitoring equipment, etc. The Jumbulances differ in size according to when they were built as each new design (or Mark) of Jumbulance demanded different needs as time progressed.

Equipment carried on board can include up to 8 equipped stretcher beds with adjustable backrest and knee support and 16 reclining seats or 5 trolley stretcher beds that can be replaced with 6 wheelchairs and 18 reclining seats each with large disabled persons washroom and toilet, kitchen for hot and cold drinks, medical supplies, large lift for ease of access, PA system, storage capacity sufficient for luggage and wheelchairs, and air-conditioning.

The Midi is smaller and more suitable for day trips with flexible bed and seating arrangements which can accommodate up to 7 wheelchairs clamped safely to the floor, together with seating for a further 19 people. The larger Jumbulances have a greater passenger capacity and a lift capable of lifting stretcher beds and wheelchairs.[2]
