They did the roofs when going from stripes to swoops, and I think shortly after that new legislation must have came abouts stopping them from physically getting on the roof. I think they can get away with single-deckers but it's generally not done without great reason, e.g. the Omnilinks in X24 livery have had their roof done. New bus orders specify a white roof, as like Sunderland some depots aren't equipped to do roofs within H&S guidelines.
