I'm a bus driver here in Kristiansand, Norway. When I'm running ealy I
either drive slower or wait at a bus stop to get on time. Is this not
possible in London?

It certainly is possible.

But the reply from Transport for London seems to indicate that they are of
the opinion it's not.

I don't know about the buses in Norway, but the long distance coaches
have an excellent policy - you are guaranteed to be carried. (They are
also pretty good about not being early) This means that if a coach
turns up to a stop in the middle of nowhere with a full complement of
passengers, another coach is laid on without question - or, as they put
it, "Garantert plass uten reservasjion"
