Well I'm used to buses lurking right behind you when they are trying to get to their stop, or pulling in front of you then cutting you off - both of which are annoying but expected when we are constantly sharing the same lane. But I've never had a bus driver just wantonly try and run me off the road because it seemed like he couldn't be bothered acknowledging my existence. Thanks, I will report back here how I get on.

regularly experience this level of arseholery from bus drivers and I've always (wrongly) conceded that it is something to put up with due to my vague knowledge of highway code 223: giving priority to buses.
however.... I've had a closer look after your post and my understanding now is that you only have to do this when they're pulling away from stops and only when it can be done safely - so definitely report this guy as @dancing james says and I will do so too next time this happens to me. It might be worth going through TFL too.
i would be interested to see how you get on with it and if the response, if any is positive. i hope the rest of your ride went ok.
