RE: LB of Redbridge, PCN, Stopped on a Restricted Bus Stop or
Stand

I have just found a letter addressed to me for a PCN and it was
issued on 14th June, so, running out of time on this one.
I do some private hire part time and dropped off at the spot the
passenger needed to get off at.
The image shows this to be the case, too.
Is this something I can appeal??

That's all the pages of the PCN.
To be honest.. I don't even know where the bust stop was to find
it on Google maps :-\

AS the registered keeper, (who may well not have been driving at
the time), you are meant to be able to identify the location
from the postal PCN, and not from any other source..
Cranbrook Road is very long (how many bus stops on it?)so vague
locus may well be one string to your bow when making reps.
But it's a bit thin on its own, so wait for the experts here to
chip in.

I have seen this too; On the place where the vehicle is
stopped.. there is no clear lines on the bus stop, and can be
seen on the image.

Stopping and waiting
Taxi and private hire drivers can stop to pick up or drop off
customers in many areas where there are waiting or stopping
restrictions. Drivers should be aware that:
Taxis and private hire vehicles can only stop as long as is
necessary for the customer to get in or out of the vehicle. This
includes more time to assist wheelchair users and to make sure
that the wheelchair is in the right position and safely secured
Picking up or dropping off is allowed on single and double
yellow and red lines, in places where loading is not allowed
(shown by markings on the kerb), in parking bays and in bus
lanes
Bus lanes & bus stops
Taxis and private hire vehicles can pick up or set down
customers in a bus lane even if they are not normally allowed to
drive in it. The only exceptions are stretches of red route
where stopping is not permitted because of the disruption this
would cause to already busy roads. Taxi and private hire drivers
should be aware that:
Drivers should enter and leave the bus lane in the most direct
and safe way
Customers should never be set down in the middle of the road,
even if the vehicle is stopped due to traffic - the driver must
always get close to the kerb
Private hire vehicles cannot stop at 'bus stop clearways' marked
with a wide yellow line by the kerb. On red routes both taxis
and private hire vehicles cannot stop at bus stops marked with a
wide red line by the kerb. At other red route bus stops, taxi
and private hire drivers should avoid stopping to avoid
disruption to the bus network
Remember, only licensed taxi drivers can drive in bus lanes -
private hire vehicles are not allowed. Licensed taxi drivers
should check the signs at the start of the bus lanes, however,
because there are a still a number of bus lanes they cannot use
I am just a bit wary that the appeal time is pushing close too
:/
