When the bendybuses were in use, every bus stop that they served was

since the bendybuses were removed? Are they waiting until the roads
are re-tarmacked, or are they going to be 100 feet long for ever?

Who marks the Bus Stops in London? The local highway authority like in the
rest of the country or TfL?

Transport against London *is* the highway authority.

A corrupt situation.

Hardly given the small proportion of the road network TfL actually
manage.

The boroughs have the lion's share.

Look at the last few pages of the document below - it lists out who is
responsible for what on the road network.

Have you tried driving (a car) along any of London's major arteries
recently?

No but I don't see how that remark automatically means TfL are a
corrupt organisation which is what you implied. There is no point in
turning London's roads into motorways given the decline in car usage
over the last decade.

Do you think that having £10 a day purloined from your bank account
might have an effect on "car usage"?

Who has suggested turning London's roads into motorways?

Interesting that TfL still don't seem to be interested in Kassel kerbs.

A number of London bus stops do have them.

Unfamiliar term to me though I recognise the item visually.

I wonder if there has been either in London, or anywhere else in Europe,
which requires activation of a lamp or any sort of signal beacon to let
a bus or even train know that there are passengers wishing to board at a
particular stop.

Yes, you get that in the Netherlands at bus stops on main roads
sometimes. The Swiss also have a similar system at some railway
request stops, e.g. on the Vevey-Puidoux "Train des Vignes".

The stop named Kopstadkrysset on the Nor-Way Bus Express line 190
(Kristiansand - Oslo) has such an arrangement. Passengers press a
button at the stop and a signal is lit on the main road.
