Otherwise we’ll continue being locked into using tedious single door vehicles.
Not sure I agree personally. I don't see the need for dual door buses bar a very few select routes (1/22/39/40/62/63). There's no benefits to using them if there's not massive loads of people getting on and off at the same stop.
There is massive negatives though when it comes to fare loss with people evading paying and the loss of seats downstairs which pensioners need, something which isn't an issue in London as the average age is much younger or Europe where they only use single decker vehicles.
It's just a massive expense for little benefit imo.
