... they also tend to get on in the middle or back doors,
you can see them at the bus stop going for those doors
rather than where the driver is.


Is this on Borismasters aka New Bus For London?


Yes.


The buses with thee doors?


Yes.


In which case you can enter by any door - but must, of course,
swipe your pass/Oystercard/NFC card.


There's nothing stopping you not swiping or geting on the buss without a pass.


Correct - the same as on the Bendibuses they replaced.

I know that Revenue Protection used to swoop on those mob
handed - presumably the do the same with the Borismasters but,
as I no longer live in Greater London I have no practical
experience of this.

I used to notice that if I encountered them - usually on
trains because I didn't use open boarding buses - as they went
round with their portable card readers that they never
bothered the read the card if presented with a Freedom Pass.
