Standard Jumbulance

A Jumbulance is a custom-built coach ambulance. The ACROSS fleet has been especially constructed by VanHool one of the world’s leading coach manufacturer, to exacting standards to ensure the comfort and safety of all passengers, particularly those with disabilities.

Pope John Paul II Jumbulance

The newest standard Jumbulance, costing £375,000 and dedicated to the memory of Pope John Paul II was launched in April 2007 and augments two existing Standard Jumbulance vehicles dedicated to the memories of Cardinals Tom Winning and George Basil Hume. All three were enthusiastic supporters of the Jumbulance.
