Apologies, I'm obviously missing something here.
I can go to "Challenge", then "Pay Now". I get directed to enter my PCN/VRN again. Then I get directed to a page with the same date, and CCTV evidence, appears correct.
-
Challenge page is the one. With incorrect dates.
-
Thanks both, interesting stuff.
Payments page here:

Dates as per the CCTV as far as I can tell.

I'll drat later. Meanwhile: screenshot the payments page as if to challenge. The dates will be wrong.
Bus lanes are my speciality.

We've seen this a few times and even going back to the old Pepipoo forum ! Signage is key to success with an appeal here, and by 'appeal', I mean London Tribunals. London councils reject virtually all reps because they know most people then just cough-up, (>95%). So you must steel yourself to stand your ground and put all thoughts of the discount out of your head.
It may be worth looking at cases at London Tribunals using the location on the PCN as a search argument, because there have been many wins here. Having said that the council may have adjusted the signage since the last successful case, (but I doubt it)

Hi all, new to this forum, would appreciate any help.
Genuine error here at the "notorious" left turn from Clapham Park Road / Abbeville Road. I changed lanes and didn't realise it was a bus lane until it was too late. It was at dusk, so visibility not great but not entirely dark.

Location on Google Maps (https://maps.app.goo.gl/cu87Pveub3JwPRpo6)
Was about to pay up before I Googled and read up to the background on this location. I note there are a few existing threads on this site, most recently here in similar circumstances - no resolution posted: https://www.ftla.uk/civil-penalty-charge-notices-(councils-tfl-and-so-on)/pcn-34j-being-in-a-bus-lane-clapham-park-road-lambeth/
Obviously frustrating as the road layout is unusual and not well signposted. Any advice on best course of action greatly appreciated, please let me know if further info required.
