Outside of a Harry Potter film , have triple deckers ever been used in
the UK (or anywhere else for that matter)? Is there any technical
reason other than height why they couldn't be used - centre of gravity
or passenger evacuation for example?
I _think_ I've seen photos of a tour bus used for exotic holidays in
China or Central Asia which had minimalist sleeping quarters onboard,
arranged in such as way as to sort-of have three decks. It also pulled a
trailer, IIRC.
