I originally accepted that I didn’t really have strong grounds to appeal this PCN. I submitted an appeal anyway to see whether there was any possibility of success. Since then, I’ve revisited the location where the alleged contravention occurred and noticed that the red route lines are extremely faded. At the time of parking, I genuinely did not see any clear red lines, which is why I believed it was permitted to stop there.
My questions are:
As I have already submitted an appeal, am I still allowed to provide additional photographic evidence showing the faded road markings?
Based on similar cases, do faded or poorly maintained red route lines give me any realistic chance of a successful appeal?
Any advice from people with experience of red route PCNs or tribunal outcomes would be appreciated.

So I could only see the faded part of the red line. not the slightly more prominent parts of the red lines
