Some bus stops - probably almost all those on main roads - are "Bus
Stop Clearways" where all stopping is banned as on a Red Route, even
where the road it's on is not otherwise a Red Route. The "Bus stop
clearway" runs for the length of the bus stop,


Yes.

marked on the road with a thick yellow line


Although in some places the thick yellow line is invisible, because it's
within a Historic area. There's a much-discussed bus stop [clearway] in
the centre of Cambridge that meets this description.

and the rules reinforced by a timeplate.


Yes.


In London, should you turn left out of Euston Road into York Way at
Kings Cross Station and stop on the left at the start of the bus
bay/lane you may well receive a penalty notice. There is a camera
covering this area from somewhere behind. I stopped for just long
enough to set down two passengers and their luggage and found out the
hard way.
