They're actually known as "Tree catchers" and are intended to rip off any overhanging tree branches they might encounter. This has become necessary now since councils find it too expensive to keep trees properly lopped on bus routes, and the bus companies say it's not their job, so the good old poke your nose in - oh sorry - Health and Safety people have demanded that these be fitted to prevent upper deck front windows being smashed.

Yeah, its to stop the windscreen from being damaged from trees. And so if the bus hits anything it abosorbs the inpact and protects the front of the bus

so if the bus crashes, you have something to hold on to and have less chance of flying out the window
