       Bus Lane/normal lane coned off

       Hello
       I haven't received a PCN but would be interested in hearing
       views on whether I am likely to be able to challenge a PCN if I
       get one. Key facts:
       - I was driving somewhere where normally there is a bus lane
       (applies at all times) on the left and a lane for other traffic
       on the right. It's somewhere I drive maybe twice a year.
       - I drove there today and the lane for other traffic was coned
       off so I couldn't drive in the normal lane.  I was therefore
       forced into the bus lane.
       - The coning wasn't signposted in advance.  Had I known/had it
       been signposted, I could have gone an alternative way. Once I
       was on the bus lane, there wasn't a way off (normally there
       would be a right hand turn but this would involve going through
       the coned off lane and this was also coned off.
       - Didn't see any signs saying the bus lane was suspended.
       Any advice very much appreciated. Thank you.

       We should shunt this to:

       as we deal only with live cases here.
       If you get PCN, update this thread.
       Check the car logbook has the correct address.
