The other day I saw a van parked on a double red line, with a "TFL
Buses" sign or similar in the window. The driver was attending to a
ticket machine at a bus stop. Is this formally allowed, or ar TfL
breaking their own rules? The red routes are supposed to aid traffic
flow, not aid TfL.

perhaps they should service the machines
at a time when the restriction doesn't apply.

Double red lines are 24 hour. They typically have numerous parking spaces
which are available outside the peak hour for the direction in question, but
the van in question was not parked in one.
