What would you say are my chances in succeeding if I appealed?

I just wanted to add that on the day of the hospital appointment there was more traffic than usual on Hucknall road due to road works at various interval.  Sections of the road were blocked with cones which meant more traffic build up.  This was one of the reasons we got late for the appointment despite setting off early.

Is it worth mentioning this in the appeal in a meaningful way?

Thanks all, your input has been very valuable to me.

If I take the chance and appeal again and I lost, will I lose the discount rate?

Thanks for your reply, I really appreciate it.

I have attached the images of the original PCN notice and a link of the video from the council website.

Hi,

I was running late for my wife's hospital appointment at Nottingham City Hospital.  We were coming down Hucknall road and I entered the bus lane slightly early after gate no.2 of the hospital in order to take gate no.3 entrance.  The council sent me a PCN through the post and I appealed sighting that the PCN was invalid because I had to enter the bus lane in order to take the entrance of gate no.3 of the hospital and attached a copy of my wife's hospital appointment lettter.  My appeal was rejected on the basis that I was driving along the bus lane for an unreasonable distance.  The distance after gate no.2 to gate no.3 is very short and I do not believe this is an unreasonable distance as claimed by the council.

Do I have a case to appeal further or should I just pay the fine?

I would be very grateful for your guidance.

Thanks.
