Hmm. What's the pink bit in the middle of the M4 on the way in from
Heathrow, then?

At the time that A329(M) became A3290 west of Loddon Bridge, bus lanes on
motorways weren't allowed. The regs must have been changed after then, and
I think the first motorway bus lane was on the M4 airport spur leading into
Heathrow, followed by the eastbound one on the main M4 carriageway.
