Good Morning, thank you for your responses.   I have PM'd Hippocrates, apologies, im not sure if i jumped gun by messaging first.   The letter notes 'there is a large blue and white sign at the start of the the offside bus lane showing when operational.  There is a thick white land separating the bus lane.  There is space between the two bus lanes for motorists to remain in general traffic'.  I should have stopped to check road signs had i been unsure.     The conditions were awful.  The photo evidence is entirely black, the video, i literally cant see my car... but i was there, and the ANPR has my registration.   I dont know what to do - your help is appreciated.

Do not pay this. I am only doing new cases involving bus lanes as this is my speciality. I will drop you a PM and it would be best to communicate with me privately via my email address.

Well, first-off don't panic ! You're one of hundreds caught out here.  If you can't stand to lose the full PCN penalty at London Tribunals, then of course, paying the discount is your only option, but first I suggest you submit representations based on your text here. You never know, they may give way, and if they don't they'll re-offer the discount.

Hello. I have PCN for Shepherd’s Bush southbound offside, pitch black, torrential rain. I don’t live in London, ordinarily never drive there. Lbhf refused appeal, advising I should have stopped to look at signs. Which I find a ridiculous suggestion.  I’ve seen a post regarding insufficient signage. Is this still the case?  I can’t afford this PCN, I’m panicking & worrying.  Appreciate any advice.  Photo provided is black, video quality is so poor, I can’t even see my car in darkness & rain
