That's because it's seriously under-resourced. There's currently only one person doing the job.example 2 : TFL London service permit, a fortnightly update is still showing a version from 7 weeks ago
Yes, that's a weakness of having such a broad remit, plus being under constant political pressure from whoever the Mayor is at the time.But then many of TfL's own decisions have directly led to slower bus journey times, whether cycle lanes, or removing gyratories and one way systems. Virtually all their road schemes are designed to improve things for pedestrians and cyclists, which is great but comes at the expense of vehicles, including buses
TfL is a highly disfunctional organisation and does not work in a joined-up manner. If you didn't know otherwise you'd think Buses and Cycling were two completely different organisations. Certainly Cycling is higher in the transport hierarchy so it's usually Buses that loses out.
Regarding removal of gyratories, the majority of these have been done by the boroughs and it's been up to TfL to make the bus network fit whatever new road layout they're presented with.
