My complaint about most modern double deck buses is not so much lack of

Agreed. I've always wondered why - apart from cheapo bus companies -
they don't have openers fitted to all windows...

A return to the idea of having opening front windows on the top deck
would also be good - even if they're hoppers rather than sliding
windows in order to avoid anything flying in.
