Would I get anywhere explaining my situation?
I doubt it ! They are only interested in the money, frankly. Can you please post a GSV link to the location so we can have a look at the signage.

Title: PCN Code 34J Reading Flagstaff Road
Post by: aleksandrk on February 17, 2026, 11:24:23 am
Being in a bus lane at Reading Green Rail Station.

It's the first time I visited that rail station and I have not been there since. I was picking someone up. As I drove in I could not find the pickup point and came to the intersection of parking or bus lane. At that stage I only wanted to turn around and it was safer to do so in the bus lane, rather than on the road or in the car park. As I took the bus lane to make a turning for the exit I saw my passenger who followed me out of the bus lane onto a crossroads where she got in the car.

As of now I still don't know whether there is a pickup point at that rail station.

I have tried to get video footage as per instructions in the back, but I could not find the way on the https://www.reading.gov.uk/pcn website.

Date of the PCN is 13/02/2026, so I have about two more weeks left to pay the discounted rate. It would be great to get a response on whether I can challenge this one or whether I should just pay it.
