---------------------------------------------------------
1.TOPIC TITLE. - Bus Lane Camera -PCN
Council name or other authority - Swindon Borough Council
The alleged contravention (summarise - no need to quote in full)
- 34J , Being in a Bus Lane
Location - Penzance Drive, Swindon
2. Outline your case/tell your story/explain the problem and how
we might help.
I got a PCN for a being a bus lane on the Saturday with no clear
signage of the Bus lane indicator and timings.
There was no bus to block and was difficult to identify the
camera location and the location of the vehicle.
Images are blurred and unable to recognise.
I request a guidance on the approach.
3. Post the PCN and all subsequent notices or correspondence.

Looks like the photos are of the other end of the Penzance Drive
bus only road.
Seen here in the streetview link from the entry to that bus
access only road
The camera position is further up the bus road looking back
towards the public access road - Rodbourne road B4289

Indeed. I was in a rush this morning so had to stop
investigating.
Here is the advance warning sign on the B4289 Rodbourne Road.
Only Bing Maps has the name.

This is a very big earner for Swindon. The advance warning sign
has been changed, historic Google Street View shows how it used
to be (pre 2019). There used to be a second No Left Turn sign
after the pedestrian crossing, however this has now been
removed. The road markings have also been changed to 'Bus Gate'.
Swindon Borough Council swear everything is compliant here, but
it is a massive earner and impacts visitors to Swindon.

Agree ..For a person from outside Swindon , this is a odd
location for a camera when one enters Swindon car park...
From the article it mentions atleast 0.5 million from the
camera...

Has anyone successfully appealed against the camera or its
location in respect to the road ?

I have raised an FOI today on the number of PCN raised for
'Penzance Drive bus lane camera, and how many are lost/rejected
due to Appeals.
