Enforcement of bus lanes is not IMU outwith the control of the police
but is merely additionally enforced by some other agencies (e.g. TfL
using a "prescribed device" to detect offenders).

Hasn't it been decriminalised in some places? I know that bus lane
policing in Nottingham is now done by the City Council, on the same
basis as LAPE parking enforcement.

AFAICT you now have two lots of officaldom available to get you unlike
with yellow-line parking offences. A similar arrangement seems to
exist in Greater London where if you park across somebody's driveway
you are now liable to receive a PCN from the local authority for
causing a wilful obstruction but the police can still have you if the
council haven't ticketed you first.
