You need to be very unlucky to experience this though.
Had the reverse on a 767 MAD-LHR last year, it was sent to a domestic gate on arrival and we had to disembark via the rear left door to a bus, as you say. I was mildly irritated having positioned myself at the front of ET for a quick exit, the CE pax were somewhat less chuffed...
