       [member=12]Incandescent[/member] no, this is a London bus lane
       PCN so in the first instance we need to wait for the enforcement
       notice and then make formal representations against that.
       The council has confirmed that:

       All our ANPR cameras are LaneWatch MARK 3.
       [/indent]
       Of course whether they could prove that in a hearing is another
       matter.

       If I formally challenge, will you guys help me?
       I've looked through London Tribunals and found 3 x "being in a
       bus lane" contraventions that were successfully appealled. 1

       Can I work out if the prescribed device reason will work for me
       ahead of time? Or is it a roll of the dice?
       Also, I noticed a lot of successful appeals have this reason:
       --- Quote ---
       > The Enforcement Authority has informed me that they will not

       mentioned above.
       >
       > The Chief Adjudicator has therefore allowed your appeal
       without considering your evidence or any details of the case.
       You are not liable for any further charge(s) and, where
       appropriate, any amounts already paid will be refunded by the
       Enforcement Authority.
       --- End Quote ---
       Good outcome, but why does the enforcement authority back down?
       If my odds are more than 50% of a successful appeal, I'm happy
       to continue.

       The process is that you are sent an enforcement notice, you make
       formal representations against that, and then the council
       rejects but usually reoffers the discount.
       It's only at that stage that you are able to appeal to the
       tribunal, if you carry on we will help you every step of the way
       and at the tribunal stage one of us will usually offer to
       represent you. We cannot guarantee the outcome, but I don't
       think we've lost a bus lane case since the summer of 2021.

       So it looks like I've messed things up. I received an
       enforcement notice on 08/11/2023 but I "filed it" and forgot to
       reply as life was happening. Here they are:
       [attach=1][attach=2]
       I received a charge certificate on 03/01/2024. Here it is:
       [attach=3][attach=4]
       Is it too late? Do I now need to pay £195?
       Thanks.

       If you made no representations against the EN, yes, to have to
       pay it.

       The 18th is the absolute deadline so I suggest paying it well
       before then.
