Summary[edit]
DescriptionVAL and YMCA - geograph.org.uk - 1061327.jpg |
English: VAL and YMCA A Bedford VAL coach of J.N.Hodson's on London Road by Leicester Station. The vehicle has Plaxton Panorama bodywork. Behind is the Leicester YMCA. Despite major rebuilding of this part of the city, the building still remains today in its YMCA role, though I suspect that the rooftop writing may have gone. The car dealer's on the left was not so fortunate and disappeared as this part of the city was redeveloped.
The Bedford VAL's were an innovative design that got around the problem of high floors with vertical engines by using 16 inch wheels! The double front axle arrangement, in which all wheels steered, was also unique. The type was relatively cheap to purchase as well, which made it popular with small operators. One of these with Harrington bodywork starred in that iconic film The Italian Job. |
