A massive green bus with legal fleetnames, a rear plate and full of concessionary passes being pulled over won't happen.

Fairly moot point, plate will be replaced either now or before it re-enters service tomorrow

I like how you've gone from a 'tad' overreaction in your first statement to a huge one. Well it isn't either! All vehicles in this country have to display a number plate front and back so the driver, and company are (albeit unknowingly) committing a criminal offence under the Road Traffic Act of 1986. 

Cbma06 mentioned he saw an MPD in Chester pulled over so believe me, it does happen!
