Penalty GX2446793A
Contravention location: o/S Gateway House Balham Hill sw12

Hi so the wonderful people at TFL have issued a Penalty notice for dropping off my daughter outside clapham south tube station

This lay-by is out side of marks and spencers, i was there for moments.

Is this a slam closed or worth fighting for an expensive £80

Their sole evidence is a recording from CCTV.

You can phone TfL and request the video evidence.  This will be sent to you through the post as a DVD. Yes, TfL are living in the Dark Ages, but they don't seem bothered about it, even though they recently lost a case at London Tribunals because the appellant had no means of viewing the DVD. They will have to change eventually, because when London Tribunals update their equipment, I doubt it will include DVD readers.

Once TfL tell you they are sending out a DVD, they put the PCN on hold for about 2 weeks. YOu must check towards the end of that period if it hasn't arrived, because TfL just automatically restart the process of enforcement.

Where did you stop. It seems to be double-red lines on both sides, which means No Stopping 24x7, so I think you'll struggle with this one.
