Given Lothian's recent flirtation with dual door buses (the tri-axle ALX400s and the ex-London B9TLs) which operate using both doors in an otherwise single-door fleet, I'm interested in where dual door vehicles are in regular service elsewhere in the UK, and operate using both doors.

It surprises me that some of the recent big-city franchise setups like the Bee Network didn't specify dual doors.

Across Europe it's just the norm.

From personal experience I know a couple of neighbouring Go-Ahead OpCos do so - Brighton & Hove generally use dual-door buses (except for the Coaster E400MMCs / StreetDecks), as do Metrobus on their Fastway routes.

Since the other thread ended Translink have reintroduced dual door double deck buses to Belfast with a delivery of 80 battery electric and 20 fuel cell Streetdecks.
