This implies the Enforcement Notice would have been served?

Nothing received as of yet though, and yes logbook and all that is up to date.

Relax.  The EN will  have a serious issue anyway.

The EN still hasn't arrived, and so it is getting slightly unsettling.
How long is the wait ? Anything over three months is regarded at London Tribunals as abuse of process and grounds for cancellation.

It's been 3 months now, at least from the date of rejection of informal appeal.

What does Southwark's online status/history say?

The EN still hasn't been served, and the status of the PCN is the same with outstanding payment of £80.

Is there a time limit in which an EN/NtO needs to be served?
It seems not. Here is Schedule 1 of the London Local Authorities ACT 1996

I’ve been made aware about a lot of controversy surrounding this particular bus lane. I don’t really understand the technicals of it but it’s apparently due to administrative errors and expired TMOs.

Is this something you or anyone else are aware of?

I’ve submitted the representation.

I will send an update once I’ve received a response.

The alleged contravention did not occur as the video does not show any upright signage allegedly passed. In light of this, please cancel the PCN.

PCN: https://ibb.co/N2VdHxMN
No.: JK1775784A
Reg: GJ07XKO

Location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/2HuccrdmXisDg8me8

First ever time getting one of these.

I’m a bus driver and drive the same route along this road almost every day. What I imagine happened is out of habit I entered the bus lane.

Do I have any grounds to appeal on this basis if not anything else?

Thanks all.
