#3 TFL PCN Stopped on redroute - lacking any real evidence.

Hi all,Im in a bit of a pickle - essentially I was driving and wanted to pop out to a store outside of my area. I saw a space available on a genuine red route (but it had parking spaces) upon driving in I didn't even get out of the car (I looked out the window and it had signage of being a electrical parking bay on a red route (Stopped where prohibited (on a red route or clearway)). literally 20 seconds of sitting in the bay and not leaving my car I drove away as I was blocked by traffic. However on the photos the TFL manned camera has provided there is only a photo of me driving away on the bend on the red route. As you can see my brakes are engaged as my rear brake lights are red while im turning the bend. However actual proof of me sitting in the electric bay as per the photos of the manned camera there is no way at all they can prove that it was my car sitting in the bay for 10 seconds as it shows a similar car / make and model.Any chance I can appeal this on either 1. limited timing per the PCN photos I parked in at 14:45.59 , and I was leaving to the main road at 14:46.43. 2. Limited proof it was actually my car / number plate sitting in the electric bay that broke the rules and stopped. the only proof they have is me with my foot on the brake turning the corner onto the main road.photos attached.
