The HC of course is not the law

Just as well...

http://www.highwaycode.gov.uk/22.htm#217

It says "do not stop [... ] at or near a bus stop or taxi rank" and doesn't
exempt buses and taxis.

Rule 217 seems to be in the subsection entitled "Parking", and "park" is
actually the third word of that paragraph just after "do not". It does
not say that vehicles licensed to use those places may not wait as part
of their licensed trade there. It also lacks the magic MUST NOT which
the HC uses when describing the law, but I think it's a fair prescription
for happy road use whether by buses, drivers or cyclists
