The school contract exemption in your screenshot makes sense. At least coach hire companies won't be annulling contracts part way through an academic year because they don't have a suitable vehicle to continue running the contract.

Possibly owners of old buses will have to phone a number/submit a web form each day they take their buses out if they believe they are exempt from paying the fine? Your idea of registering the vehicle as preserved would leave a loophole if a preserved bus was loaned to a private hire company.
