Don't understand why there isn't windows to open towards the back of the bus especially as it's usually warmer at the back of the bus, I can only assume it may be because of the possible lack of headroom if the windows are open.
No idea.
Air con? Lack of headroom?
Operator specification?
Fuel economy and aerodynamics?
Or the actual design? Manufacturers are limited on both sides of the vehicle, due to the location of the new emergency exit - which certainly won't help things.

There isn't much scope at all for any additional opening windows.
I know some older vehicles had the sliding version of opening windows more or less all the way to the rear of the vehicle.

Just be careful if you ever head to Birmingham!
