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

I'm not aware of the idea ever catching on. The original double deckers
were single deckers with seats on the roof, so no triple decker idea
there.

Later people were paranoid about buses toppling over, hence the Chiswick
demonstrations of just how far over you could tip a bus without it
falling over.
