Had a bit of a run in with the driver of a well known London bus firm.
Pretty satisfied with the response:
Dear Croft
I am writing in response to the complaint you made about one of our drivers.
I was concerned to learn of the incident you described as drivers should take extra care when near cyclists. In view of your comments the driver involved has been interviewed by his garage manager and the matter has been discussed with him. As a result appropriate action has been taken with regard to this occasion and to ensure that our expectations are met in future. I regret that I cannot be specific about the action taken against the individual in this case as this would be a breach of our agreements on staff confidentiality. A range of sanctions is, however, available depending on the driver’s previous record.
We have recently set up a training course in conjunction with Cycle Training UK that concentrates on cycle safety and involves drivers spending half a day on a bike to gain first hand experience of London's roads. I would add that all our drivers are regularly monitored covertly by our own training staff, TfL’s Mystery Shoppers and staff from AA Drivetech and their reports are kept on the driver’s personal record, as are complaints such as yours. Naturally any adverse reports are acted upon swiftly.
Please accept our apologies for any upset caused.
Yours sincerely
Mr Manager

Interested in weight here too.
Those look like thick tyres in the pic. What do they take?
