Les, You have got to think of the way buses evolved as well. It was a long while (partly due to Met Police) before there were any double deckers which were not open toppers. As this was once the norm I cannot see a reason to then bring in legislation. Definitely open toppers can be used in normal service and I see no reason why they shouldn't. Remember many sightseeing services are registered as local bus routes.
Capital Citybus use to use open toppers on some school routes when single deckers were not available as closed top vehicles were too tall for the routes. Keith Who has driven open toppers on normal service.
