Although in favour of speeding up buses, I wonder whether it might
better serve the interests of both bus users and motorists to
introduce a rule which makes it compulsory to let buses leaving a
bus stop pull out. Unfortunately I suspect the problem would be
enforcement - on-bus cameras might be an option, but they're
expensive and it's another thing for the driver to worry about.

I thought this already was the rule?

It's Highway Code advice, but not compulsory.

"198. *Buses, coaches and trams.* Give priority to these vehicles when
you can do so safely, especially when they signal to pull away from
stops."
