Despite the opinions of some on the Ford R series chassis, while they are hardly the most sophisticated (or passenger-friendly) buses around, they have served Jersey well for what will be well over three decades by the time the last is finally withdrawn. Sights such as that above cannot be that common, otherwise JMT would have changed chassis supplier long ago. JMT has patrol vans which can be sent out to a vehicle in trouble, but this view shows that J 14645, at the time bearing an advertisement for Jersey Gas, had been immobilised to the extent that a tow back to base by this DAF recovery unit was called for.
