       TFL
       Red Route CC46 - O/S 140 - 150 Commercial Road E1 on
       25/07/25 @ 18:30. Notice date 01/08/25
       Hello all,
       I’ve received a Red Route PCN and would really appreciate your
       help in challenging it.
       Borough of Tower Hamlet
       Red route CC46 -
       O/S 140 - 150 Commercial Road E1
       25/07/25 @ 18:30.
       Notice date 01/08/25
       I’ve attached a copy of the PCN with my personal details
       redacted.
       I’d also like to view the CCTV/video evidence to properly recall
       what happened.
       What’s the quickest way to request or access the video from the
       council?
       What I remember:
       It was a Friday afternoon.
       Traffic was extremely heavy and slow-moving — I was following
       the queue of vehicles ahead.
       I believe at one point traffic moved aside to allow an emergency
       vehicle with sirens to pass.
       I’m not familiar with the area and didn’t realise I’d entered a
       bus lane at the time.
       I don’t recall seeing clear advance warning signs.
       What I need help with
       1. Finding the exact location on Google Maps/Street View. I
       don’t know it myself — hopefully the PCN still images, time
       stamp, and camera reference can help identify it.
       2. Advice on potential grounds to challenge, such as signage
       adequacy, operational hours, or the emergency vehicle situation.
       3. Best way to request the video and any other supporting
       evidence (e.g., Traffic Management Order).
       Thank you in advance for your advice and help.

       There's no PCN - try putting it on an external host.
       Also looks like TFL not Tower Hamlets.

       Sorry it is TFL.
       PCN now attached.
       Please let me know if this is okay now.
       Do you prefer me to upload it onto Imgur?
       Thanks

       It is TFL.
       PCN now attached.
       Please let me know if this is okay now.
       Any advice will be appreciated.
       Just conscious that I have limited time before the 21 days to
       make a representation to still keep the discount.
       Thanks

       Take a look at the PCN photos on the TfL website - I think
       you're remembering a different day!
       There's no traffic. You're pulled right-in to the kerb. You're
       stopped for over a minute. The zoomed-out context shot even has
       the "start of bus lane" sign in it.

       @STIR
       Thanks.
       The page to view the PCN is currently is currently unavailable.
       Will be back at 8 pm tonight.
       See message below
       " Sorry, we’re fixing something
       We're updating some of our systems right now so some online
       services are temporarily unavailable.
       .........
       Unavailable services include Road User Charging account
       services, Pay to drive, Auto Pay registrations, discount
       applications and Pay/Challenge a PCN. We expect things to be
       back to normal by 20:00 on Sunday 17 August 2025."
       "
       It is the same day but it was at a later time thinking of the
       time the PCN was issued.
       I will take a look at the PCN when the service becomes
       available.

       I was loading Items from the wholesalers shop ( Wow Clothing
       142 Commercial Road;
       London E1 1NL
       ) into car.
       I had to bring my car close after paying for the goods as the
       items were a lot.
       If there is a video it will show me loading the items from the
       shop into car.
       Please where will I be able to get the video, there are only
       three (3) still photos on the TFL website.
       I parked my car in a red Route bay, the PCN was not issued for a
       bus lane.

       The bay is only available 10am-4pm - the rest of the time it's a
       bus lane.
