Hellish amount of wasted space too.
All those stairs and doors!
Not really a proper double decker either, with those interlaced upper seating areas rather than a proper full-length upper deck.

It’s not about what’s on the inside Robert...With respect to the 455's, the /8's and the early 317's had the ugly fronts which were "improved" with the 455/7's, /9's and 317/2's.
Despite the front ends, the 317's had lovely interiors when new - esp the /2's
Surely many modern 4x4s take their styling cues from this. Offensive and ugly is what the 4x4 buyer loves - it matches their personalities.

Anything with a corridor front end.
We are about to get a torrent of new-build monstrosities (CAF for WMT/TfW, Bombardier for WMT).
There are hardly any designs like that on the continent.

I just came across this exact same photo on a news website somewhere and was about to post it (even if the thread is for the UK only!). Mind you, looks like it would be good in a head-on collision...I want to agree, but if the alternative is this...

There were also big gaps between all the lower level compartments to squeeze in the fans for the upper level pressure ventilation. Each compartment needed its own set! Typical Bulleid - a solution that created more problems than it solved.
