There's loads of places where it wouldn't really work as the bus stops are in bays so you'd be stuck on the road.
To be honest though I'm not sure they'd really benefit GoNorthEast services, they're not really busy enough to warrant it as they only really benefit places where there's a massive load of people leaving at the same time as boarding.
Think the likes of the Stagecoach services in the centre of Newcastle near Monument etc. There's not really any GoNorthEast decker services where that happens. Not enough to benefit them as rear door boarding has bad fare evasion as people just sneak on the middle door.
