To find out the exact bus operator you can either look on Wikipedia or on London Bus Routes unofficial routes and it lists them.

The minimum connection time at London Victoria is usually fifteen minutes however transferring from Southern to Southeastern services and vice versa is only ten minutes. We therefore can board the 0007 Southeastern service 1K84 to Ramsgate, arriving there at 0229 in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

It's Gatwick Express not Southern if that makes any difference!
