Appeal sent. Will keep you posted on their response.
Your hard work is evident all over this forum! Thank you for your quick responses and support here.
Is there a general ETA on these kind of things going to tribunal? Would a tribunal take place somewhere within Waltham Forest?

They will reject but they never turn up at the Tribunal these days so the evidence will in all probability be inadmissible. Happy to stay with you on the journey.
Thank you, I'll submit this as my initial appeal.
What's the worst case scenario if I go through with all this and still lose - pay the full £130?

PCN No.: FR63206289
VRM: EF17AFV
Date of Notice 14/08/2024
I received a PCN for driving in a bus lane on Whipps Cross Road E11, coming up to the Green Man Interchange. Incident was on 8/8, received the PCN on 14/8. Much like the previous cases on this forum regarding the same section of the road (linked below): no 'end of bus lane' sign was clearly apparent to me nor is one featured in their evidence, the road markings aren't exactly well-maintained, and I only switched lanes because I was trying to get in lane in good time for the large roundabout up ahead. There was no bus near me but I made sure to avoid the bus stop markings anyway.
Have provided all my evidence below. Have I got a chance to win an appeal against this?
Please ask me if anything is unclear.

Hi there,
Brand new to this forum so apologies if I'm not doing things right, and sorry to piggyback off this thread, but I am dealing with a PCN for the exact same circumstances as OP here (pulled into the 'bus lane' after the bus stop marked, intending to get in lane for the imminent roundabout, blissfully unaware the bus lane even went that far).
Can anyone advise whether I should use the same formatting for the appeal letter as above?
My mitigating circumstances are not quite as severe, though I was returning to work after receiving treatment for a cat bite on my foot at Whipps Cross A&E, so this was a fun little cherry on top of that particular day. /s
Many thanks,
LCS1919
