Moir Lockhead, Routemasters and the bendy bus

That said, provincial bus operators don't like extra doors because of
fare-dodging. If they have to have the one on the artic section
(which I think they do), a middle set won't be any more of a problem.
Nottingham's bendy buses seem to have one door at the front and a second
one in the back section just behind the "concertina". They are far
enough apart that when pulled up to a normal bus stop (which are usually
arranged so the queue starts at the front of the bus and then grows away
so the driver can see the whole queue ahead of him) you wouldn't expect
any of the people in the queue to be running to the back to get on.
