TFL issued parking ticket by camera on Mile End Rd

Hello all,
I was parked in the red route for few minutes with a blue badge and I got a ticket in the post.
I have attached the ticket, is there I can do to challenge this because I thought blue badge would cover parking like double yellow line.

Any suggestions please
Thanks

For a PCN from TFL by CCTV to be valid on a red route, there must be clear upright signage present at or near the location of the offence, according to a decision by the High Court. I've looked at Google Maps images of the area from August 2025 and there appears to be no signage whatsoever. It is the burden of TFL to prove they have adequate signage and based on what I've seen this has been issued incorrectly. Tomorrow ring TFL and ask them for the DVD video as evidence of the contravention, as they are old school and you cannot view the video online, they will send it to you. This will put the PCN on hold and allow time for more people to comment.

A GSV link to the location would be useful too.

cp8759 knows the details as far as I know.

Case Details

Please note I may have had a twisted interpretation of this as the OP hasn't got a PCN for "stopping on a red route" technically.
This case says TfL can issue Postal PCNs on red routes using CCTV, however there needs to be upright signage for it to be considered "a red route", even if there are double red lines.

Relevant London Tribunals Case:

London Tribunals Case

Camera enforcement

The issue was whether, in the light of the decision in R (on the application of Transport for London) v London Tribunals (Environment and Traffic
Adjudicators) [2023] EWHC 2889 (Admin), the Authority was entitled to deploy camera enforcement on a double red line when the double red line did not have an upright sign indicating the red route restrictions.

It seems to me that the Authority had misunderstood the Appellant’s argument to be whether a double red line was enforceable without an upright sign. This is not the case. The point is whether it is enforceable by camera as opposed to a civil enforcement officer if there is no upright sign.

While I accept that a double red line does not need an upright sign to be enforceable, Mr Teper is bound by the High Court decision, and he was entitled to conclude that the decision meant that camera enforcement is not permitted for double red lines without an upright sign.

I have reached the same conclusion in the review of Davison v Transport for London (Appeal no. 2250678824 11 July 2025)



From the adjudicator in the appeal.

Another question is, is that tiny entrance to the road part of the original red route order?

In the The Civil Enforcement of Road Traffic Contraventions (Approved Devices, Charging Guidelines and General Provisions) (England) Regulations 2022, a Regulation 11 PCN applies for red routes, so can be served by post. However the issue is for a "red route" to be defined it needs to have upright signage clearly near the location. If there was no "red route" in question where the OP parked, then it cannot be "a special enforcement area".

There are no sign on that side where I parked and I requested the CCTV recording

I have checked recent cases, and in July 2026 and appeal was allowed at this exact location due to the lack of signage meaning TFL were not entitled to issue a postal PCN.

O/S 1-7 MILE END ROAD E1

Already looks winnable.

So essentially, TfL are breaking the law by continuning to serve postal PCNs at this location.

They continue to break the law because most people getting a PCN just cough-up without ever going to adjudication. It seems to me that the criminal offence of malfeasance is quite clearly being committed here. I don't suppose any TfL officials will be going to jail, though.

Hi all,
TfL has sent a dvd but how am I supposed to watch that as I don’t have anything to play it on.
What is the best thing to do, isn’t up to them to provide the evidence that can be viewed easily

If you can't play the DVD doesn't seem like much of a problem anyway, it'll just back up the theory there is no signs. Also the fact these cavemen haven't given you reasonable access to the evidence could also be mentioned at Tribunal. I say time to submit a formal appeal or if you really want to find someone to play it.

You can make a representation such as the following (doesn't have to be too long, TfL will most likely reject)

There has been a procedural impropriety on behalf of the Enforcement Authority. Refer to Regulation 11 of the The Civil Enforcement of Road Traffic Contraventions (Approved Devices, Charging Guidelines and General Provisions) (England) Regulations 2022, which states a Postal PCN can only be sent on a red route, especially on the Double Red Lines on which the alleged contravention occurred, if the the upright sign for the Double Red Lines is displayed in accordance with Part 4 of Schedule 7 to the Traffic Signs Regulations. The Postal PCN cannot be served in this case, there is no upright signage. I expect to hear that this appeal is accepted, or TfL should be prepared to take the matter to the Tribunal.

How about the below representation the red line are small compared to the one on the main rd
Which I added to the representation

Dear Sir or Madam
I would like to appeal as I believe there has been a procedural impropriety on behalf of the Enforcement Authority. Refer to Regulation 11 of the The Civil Enforcement of Road Traffic Contraventions (Approved Devices, Charging Guidelines and General Provisions) (England) Regulations 2022, which states a Postal PCN can only be sent on a red route, especially on the Double Red Lines on which the alleged contravention occurred, if the the upright sign for the Double Red Lines is displayed in accordance with Part 4 of Schedule 7 to the Traffic Signs Regulations. The Postal PCN cannot be served in this case, there is no upright signage or any signage along the road.
The red line is also not the same as on the main road as it is 2 inches smaller which in not consistent.
