Most London bus lanes PCNs can be challenged on lack of camera authorisation - our member Hippo knows about this.

I can't see how they can enforce this anyway - how can they refer to 'digital warning signs' that are not part of the statutory signage.

The hours of operation for this bus lane are Mon-Sat 7-10am and 4-7pm and on event days 7am till Midnight. I drove on the bus lane on a saturday at 12:17pm. There were no signs to say it was an event day. On the PCN video and pictures also it does not show any signs on either side of the road. I can't understand how a driver is supposed to know when it is an event day. The council has responded that there are digital warning signs on the main routes into the event day Zone and Motorists can check dates on the wembley stadium website. Firstly i didn't see any such digital sings, secondly i was coming from Barnet and chose my route home as I was driving. Do they expect the drivers to stop and go online on the website to check for the events?
As they have rejected my appeal, can anyone suggest if i should challenge as I strongly feel this PCN is wrong.
