Have look at rule 120 down the page on this link here - the signs must say when the restrictions apply.

It amazes me the amount of people who think they are driving a bus!Lack of paying attention seems to be the main culprit and would be genuinely surprised if you pulled them up about it.By the way bus lane restrictions are 7am to 7 pm where I live-Cheshire.

Just read the signs to see when you can and cannot use a bus lane and a driving instructor can't help you with that - in fact there is one on here (well they said they were) who didn't know how to tell a dual carriageway from a single track road!
Where I used to love there were restrictions only during peak times, so during the daytime you could use the bus lane (and of course at night)
Where I live now, we have just one bus lane along a nasty stretch of road that has massive hold ups in rush hour and it is a bus lane 24 hours with cameras
