Default Motorbike use of Bus Lanes - City List?

Does anyone know if there's a list of which authorities (Councils) round the country have undertaken trials or fully allow for motorcycles using bus lanes?

So far I've got:
- London
- Birmingham
- Bristol
- County Durham
- Belfast

There is the odd bus lane where the council boroughs change

This^^

Not all london bus lanes are free to use. TFL ones are AFAIK, however some council owned ones are not. Best thing would be to look at the signs and use accordingly, never assume.

The 2+ lanes in Leeds allow bikes, not a bus lane but buses do use them too.

To get into bath, you can use the bus lane into the center of the city. Very useful and great to see the faces of cagers who've been stuck in the que for 2 hours :P

Not all bus lanes in London. Most of the TFL ones are able to be used. Check the signs.
