into our lane. We *had* to go slightly into the bus lane, as there was
no other option left open - I wonder whether the reason will show if the
cameras we saw were working, or whether we'll get £100 fine because we
were in the bus lane....

The bus forced its way onto your side of the road? It's the busses fault
then, I trust you took it's number an made a formal complaint.

No time, it was all too fast....

However thats no excuse for you to enter a bus lane unless and emergency -
you should have stopped as if the bus lane was a pavement.

We did, more or less - but it was one of those situations where, if we
had stopped, someone would have had to reverse - and in that traffic, at
that time of day? I don't think so!
