Ah, thanks for the correction.
Yes, so normally buses will wait for traffic going straight ahead (towards the bridge) to be stopped by the lights (or for an opening) and then proceed to follow the red line. In my experience when a bus does this traffic flowing via the yellow line gives way, even if they are on their green phase.
I never have an issue here really, but today I had somewhat committed to the red line turn, with a black cab approaching via the yellow line. It would have been fine if he’d held his speed, but he accelerated and forced me to give way.
Felt irksome but maybe I was in the wrong. Not worth getting into conflict over in any case
