Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / Re: Redbridge PCN - stopped on a restricted bus stop / stand

Hi all

An update on this one - I sent in an appeal and received the below rejection.

Apologies but I can't seem to find the copy of the appeal I entered. However it was broadly on the grounds of:

  • Inappropriate signage (there is a sign but it's really small and I would contest that you wouldn't see it until it's too late and you're already stopped.
  • Attempted to stop in the loading bay next to the stop but it was blocked so stopped as close as poss.
  • Was only stationary for NINE SECONDS (still think it is outrageous to issue an EIGHTY / ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY pound fine for a 9 second stop).
  • No traffic or buses were impeded by my 9 second stop.



Any view of whether to give up on this one? As outrageous as I think it is, from the previous messages it sounds like a lost cause.

Thanks in advance!

Would never want to be branded a member of The Mugged Club... so will definitely put in a representation.

In my experience it's a blanket no when Redbridge are involved though, even for a parking PCN on my own road when the permit was partially visible and my 7 months pregnant wife was trying to load the car...the boot was open!!

Whole PCN is here for completeness:

Thanks - Appreciate the quick response. Watching the video makes me even more furious as it shows the car stationary for literally 10 seconds, there is no other traffic and not a bus in sight. The gall of them to apply an £80 fine for an honest mistake that had absolutely no impact to anybody is outrageous.

Do you think just suck it up and pay the fine? The one point I was going to make is that the sign is so small that you wouldn't actually notice it until you had already stopped.

Hi there

I received a PCN from Redbridge for stopping in a bus stop. I’m still absolutely gobsmacked to be given an £80/£160 fine for stopping for literally 20 seconds (only enough time for my wife who was waiting there to jump in).

Link to PCN is: https://imgur.com/cW26w8N


Hopefully the link works as first time using imgur.
Message preview seemed to be hiding the link, it is …imgur.com/cW26w8N.

I saw a previous post for the same issue on a bus stop further down the street which suggested tut here are a number of options to challenge this but the person involved just paid it so I don’t think it was resolved.

Google maps location of this stop is:

From looking at this it looks like there is a (very small) sign which I didn’t see at the time.

Any advice over contesting this would be greatly appreciated!
