Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / Re: BUS GATE KING ST JNC QUEBEC ST LEEDS 34J

Just to come back and say that Leeds City Council has rejected the appeal on there are no documented diversions at that point in time, and just photos of the bus gate.

I don’t dispute there was a bus gate and it’s clearly wrong that there were no diversions but I haven’t got the energy to fight it.

Thank you. I have submitted a request to challenge the PCN using the above and the map, so I will let you know the outcome. Thank you.

Thank you, and apologies for not giving those details. There were signs along the diversion from what I recall but it is setup every evening and is taken away every morning so there’s no guarantee it’s the exactly same one day from the next. Equally, I may have just made a mistake.

This is the diversion route I took - marked in purple, and the red circle is the bus gate/camera.

Feels a bit harsh when there’s a load of roadworks and the redirection forces drivers the wrong way down roads etc.

Hi all,


I’m hoping you can help.


I was leaving the car park I use in Leeds city centre and, due to the roadworks, had to follow a diversion which took me against the normal traffic flow on Swinegate.

I believe I followed all of the yellow diversion signs correctly, which took me past the station, but I cannot be 100% certain as I was driving on roads in the city centre that I would normally avoid for this exact reason.

Today, I received this PCN. The video clearly shows me driving through a bus gate, which I accept, but I genuinely believe I was following the diversion route.

Am I able to challenge this, or do I simply have to pay? I’m also sharing this in case anyone else has found themselves in the same situation.

Thank you in advance for any advice.
