Thank you for your reply. Greatly appreciate help.

Apologies for last day posting, was dealing with other issues and kept putting of dealing with the PCN. Accidently blanked the reg while uploading, did type in the missing details at the end. Here are details below

Yes there is a video of entering the Bus Lane just before the traffic lights.

Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / Gateshead Council Bus Lane - High West Street (Northbound)

Good afternoon,
I received a PCN from Gateshead Council on 10th Jan for the alleged contravention - Code 34J Being in a Bus Lane

Background : Major arterial bypass road was suddenly closed just before Christmas due to severe structural issue.

Incident : During the holiday period 28th Jan, was my first time driving route since bypass road. Suddenly i had to diver into the town center roads. The entrance to High West street did not indicate it was a Bus only road, as there was a Bus lane next to a lane open for private vehicles. Suddenly the open lane ended and the Bus Lane was merged to the lane I was traveling. By the time I processed the Blue Bus lane sign, had already entered and almost exited the Bus Lane.

It appears I am liable, but can you suggest any grounds of appeal.

Today (31st January) is the last day to pay the discounted PCN, if that's the only best option. I did try to make representation online but was overwhelmed by the basis of representation (added to end of PCN link)

thank you in advance for you guidance
