doesn't matter now, I had to pay it

Is it possible to get any advice on this one please? I only have a few days left until the discount ends, so I'm thinking I'll just need to pay it as I don't know what grounds I have to dispute. Thanks

Unfortunately I'm not sure if I'll get chance to get into town to take pictures. Any advice on my grounds to dispute without that would be appreciated. I'll update if I do get chance, but I think it's unlikely before the discount expires.Thanks again

Would you be able to pop back and get us some updates pictures please?Unfortunately not, it's a bit out of the way for me and it might be a couple of weeks before I can get back there. Would I have any other grounds to dispute it without knowing about the lines?Thanks

I'm frankly not sure how that video proves anything.Other issues to explore are the traffic order and the camera approval, but I need the exact location first.Here's the location of the beginning of the bus lane - Streetview.The video appears to show the part of the road that curves off to the right. Please let me know if you need any more info from me. I checked my dashcam and unfortunately the video has been overwritten.

extra pages attached. Also, there is a useful response on the other form. The poster points out that the road markings begin 10m before the signage. Not sure how significant that is. [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

I avoid driving in Newcastle mostly because of the bus lanes. I'm sure they've intentionally been set up in a way that maximises revenue. They usually only exist for short stretches of road, but often the different stretches alternate sides of the road, so unless you know where they all are, it's difficult to stay out of them.On this occasion, I waited at the lights in the picture below. I didn't know a bus lane was coming up until I got there, and I had to stop where the green mark is. The issue is though, the other lane was totally gridlocked, where I've marked red. I waited a bit and the traffic didn't budge. By then, I had a queue of vehicles behind me that had started beeping and flashing their lights because I was blocking them all. With the other lane showing no sign of starting to move, I just had to drive through the bus lane.In the council's picture you can see the traffic in the other lane, but I can't prove I got stuck, not able to move over. I might have dash cam footage, but will the council care about this? The street view image below is from 2021 which shows the road marking are very faint, but I'm not sure what they're like now as it was dark when I was there.I'm not sure if I have any case, but thought it might be worth asking.Thanksother thread - http://forums.pepipoo.com/index.php?showtopic=152197 [ Guests cannot view attachments ]
