Everything about The Bedford Jjl totally explained
The
Bedford JJL was an innovative but ultimately unsuccessful bus model built by
Bedford Vehicles. Tricentrol of Dunstable produced a short version of Bedford's YMQ chassis, the YMQ/S, ten years after the JJL. The JJL could have been a success, but was ahead of its time in predicting the boom in the
midibus market, as seen by the success of the
Dennis Dart. The production vehicles were produced as follows:
| Chassis Number |

Bodywork Code |

UKX335X |

The build date of the first chassis may indicate that this was the prototype that was converted to a production bus, although it should be noted that the bodywork numbers and build dates conflict with those found in.
Maidstone Borough Council took delivery of the JJLs in 1981/82. UKK 335X and AVS 903T were sold to
Brighton Buses, and then to Northern Bus, Sheffield in 1992 where it saw service with Rambler and Goodmans coaches. It is the last JJL in service, and has been exhibited at rallies.
