I recall when the Vykings were on the 21, GNE had to put a lot of notices and guidance out around the use of dual door operation. It got quite confusing for passengers, because there were a number of stops along the route, that you'd be opening the rear doors onto railings or the glass front of a bus shelter.
It'd be a nice thought to have such vehicles up here one day, but until the combined authority make a commitment to ensure the infrastructure is suitable, then I can't see the operators making a commitment on them.
Its like when GNE wanted to put the ex London bendies on the 56... the route and area's wasn't suitable due to the roads being to small etc.
