Outside London, buses generally only have one door, by the driver.
Bendy-buses aren't very common.

Except the ex-London ones now spread out across the country.

It's still a drop in the ocean. Many provincial bendy buses have one of
the back doors "missing" as well, and are frequently used on routes for
students - where almost all the users will have season tickets.

Not that I saw in Gateshead last weekend. Pretty well as in London except
for the repaint.

But one must board via the front door.

Same in Nottingham, and I'm sure that in common with other provincial
cites I've seen bendies (like Leicester), outside London people queue at
bus stops and get on at the front door, with the driver pulling up at
the head of the queue. The queues form "upstream" of that (not
downstream) so there's no-one hanging around near the back of the bus
anyway.

"Many", not "all".
