Title: Re: Bus Lane PCN due to inadequate signage - help needed
Post by: Incandescent on April 15, 2025, 08:22:48 pm

Unfortunately, the Traffic Penalties Tribunal does not operate an on-line statutory register available to the public. This is unlike London Tribunals who's statutory register has been on-line for decades now. Quite why TPT are so backward is a mystery. If you can obtain the case number, you can ask for it to be sent to you.

Title: Bus Lane PCN due to inadequate signage - help needed
Post by: Rinser129083 on April 15, 2025, 05:17:14 pm

I have received a PCN from Bradford council, it was a surprise to me when I opened the letter as I was unaware I had been in any bus lanes at all. I have googled the exact location and to no surprise it's already been sucessfully and publically challenged, please see here: https://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/news/17488191.driver-wins-bradford-bus-lane-appeal-bad-signs-church-bank/

My case is the exact same, I turned from Peckover Street and because it was busy (peak time as you can see on the PCN) and due to the bad placement of the signs, I was not able to see them. I then had no choice but to enter the bus lane further down the road or risk a dangerous manoeuvre.

I'm looking for advice on how I should go about challenging this, and I want to know if there's any way to access the documents or the judgment made by the adjudicator mentioned in the case I have linked. I can see the man who challenged the PCN was named Anthony Bryce, but I am unsure how I could look through the archives to find such a thing.

Please can someone with a bit more experience lend me a hand?

Thanks guys!
