Just look at similar posts. I am too busy to deal with people who join The Mugged Club as I advise on here and do appeals. Sorry to be blunt. All London bus lane cases are beatable.

Hi

A family member has paid the penalty fee for me, they didn't know I planned to appeal.
I know usually once you paid that revokes any chance of appealing. I don't suppose the fact that it was paid by someone else without my knowledge there's still a chance of appealing?

If not, don't waste time on a draft for me. Really appreciate your efforts.

Out of curiosity what would you have said and do you think the appeal would have worked?

Back later with a draft. Don't pay it please. And don't do their work for them.

Hi,

I was caught on CCTV in a bus lane during an event day in Wembley. At the time, I did not see the event day sign. After reviewing my dash cam footage, I believe the event day signage was obstructed. The sign on the left is partly obstructed by the bushes. The sign on the right is under a tree, not lit up, and obstructed by another sign. I’ve attached the dash cam footage and included a screenshot of the signs.

I want to check if this is worth appealing on the grounds of the signs being obstructed and/or there not being enough signage to indicate it was an event day. I received the PCN today (03/09/2025).
