TFL CODE 46 EMERGENCY STOP BRIEFLY OUTSIDE LOADING HOURS ON RED ROUTE
« on: »
On 27 May 2026, I made an emergency stop to secure a load on my motorcycle (load that was falling off). I stopped in a Loading area outside 409 - 411 Holloway Road N7, at 09.45. Loading is allowed from 10.00.
I received the attached PCN on 9 June 2026 and I immediately wrote an appeal on the Online Service on the TFL website. I explained that I stopped (for one minute and 14 seconds - from 09.43.49 to 09.45.03 according to TFL's images) as an emergency as the load on my motorcycle was dangerously loose and I said that it would have been a danger to myself and other road users if I had continued my journey.
I received no email or other confirmation of my appeal and so after a few days, I called TFL's Penalty Charge Appeal Line on 0343 222 3333 on 11th and 12th June 2026; on the 12th of June 2026, I spoke with a man for 4 minutes, he checked my file and assured me that my appeal had been received and I would be notified of the outcome by email or letter.

Since this telephone conversation, I have received no emails, letters or any other contact from TFL until I received the attached Charge Certificate.
I would have taken the opportunity to appear before an adjudicator (if my appeal was refused, which it appears it was) but I have not been given that opportunity.

I have NOT responded to the Charge Certificate.

Here is the Status History, I received no 'Representation Receipted' email on or around 9 June and they do not seem to have a record of informing me of rejecting my representation?

First thing to say is NO NOT PAY the CC. What you do now is wait for TfL to register the debt at the Traffic Enforcement Centre. They then must send you an Order for Recovery letter. You can then submit a Statutory Declaration that you submitted reps but did not receive a letter rejecting those reps. TEC will then order the OfR and CC to be cancelled, and the matter reverts to when you submitted the reps. The regulations are that TfL must pass the matter to the adjudicators for a decision on what to do.

London Tribunals have issued a Practice Direction to councils and Tfl regarding action to take when TEC cancel a CC and OfR: -
www.londontribunals.gov.uk/sites/default/files/Practice%20Direction%2003-2024%20on%20behalf%20of%20ETA%2028%20November%202024%20%28PWS%29.pdf

It would be prudent for you, once the period for payment of the CC has expired, to check with TEC every 7-10 days to see if your PCN has been registered. Alternatively, you can check on the TfL website to see what amount is owing, and when this increases by £10, (the TEC registration fee), you know it has been registered. This covers it going astray in the post. You don't have to wait for receipt of the OfR, you can download the relevant form for the SD from the TEC website. The form is PE3

Form PE3: Challenge an unpaid penalty charge notice

+1, this is procedural which finally - several weeks/months hence - gets you to the adjudicator.
