I said:
“I could not see the sign stating “No Stopping. Except between 10am and 4pm” as it was not facing on-coming traffic. I only became aware of the sign once I had pulled up in the parking bay. As soon as I saw the sign and realised I was too early, I drove off immediately, as shown in the CCTV footage. I returned to the bay at 10am, also confirmed by my car trip log which I have attached.
My trip log also confirms that I left Thornton Heath at 9:30am and with the distance travelled, would have arrived in Tooting just before the camera captured me, which is why my lights were still on as shown in the CCTV footage. As soon as I saw the sign and that I was outside of the permitted hours, I pulled off and returned at 10am.”
I received a reply from TFL today and thankfully they have cancelled the PCN.
