I would go the route of contacting them, and saying : Hey, have you heard
of OSM? Why don't you stick up proper streetmapping on your website showing
the routes, for free? If you donate your route data it will get added to the
map and ... ect.
I've learned that a reciprocal relationship like this is one of the best
ways of getting something from someone.
Otherwise, *no* - unless something is clearly marked as copyleft / Creative
Commons then it is in copyright, there is no need to display copyright for
it to apply.

I know there are people out there with time on their hands, just itching
to find more uses for OSM. We've bus route maps, cycling route maps, and
even in the West Midlands a gritting routes map. Today I stumbled across the
fact that driving test routes are on the DSA website in a text format
without any worry about them being derived from OS data that hasn't been
released.

Then pick a centre and there should be download links on the right with
PDFs describing the routes in text.
Of course, the first debate is about whether we can use these. The
website displays a Crown Copyright message, but the PDFs don't seem to
display any terms/licence/copyright information on them.
The terms of use include: not re-use the information for promotion or
advertising purposes. Since we don't have such restrictions on the use
of OSM data I don't think it is compatible. You could build a separate
layer I suppose.
