That's perfectly legal, and what's more they just need to get somewhere. Not like they're doing it out of impatience is it.

Double white lines where the line nearest you is solid. This means you MUST NOT cross or straddle it unless it is safe and you need to enter adjoining premises or a side road. You may cross the line if necessary, provided the road is clear, to pass a stationary vehicle, or overtake a pedal cycle, horse or road maintenance vehicle, if they are travelling at 10 mph (16 km/h) or less.

Well that doesn't specifically mention ANY vehicle moving at <10mph but if stationary, be right.
