OK. Essentially your case rests on mitigation, and TfL have
chosen not to cancel. So if you take them to London Tribunals,
it is virtually inevitable you will lose, because adjudicators
cannot rule on cases based on mitigation.

The TFL PCN website has allowed me to submit reps again, their
email response mentions that the enforcement process is now
suspended, should I be wary of this (from a legal standpoint)?
Is it a procedural impropriety to state that the discounted
payment will be accepted up to 14 days from the date of the
letter?
I have appealed on one of the official grounds given that I was
not in the area at the time they stated and therefore outside of
charging hours. There are no clocks to display the time in the
area/ approach of the tunnel so I had no option but to rely on
the time displayed in my vehicle, as I couldn't possibly check
my phone whilst driving because I would be communicating a
criminal offence.
Their mitigation acceptance I feel, is based on however the
person dealing with your case feels on the day.
Pretty frustrating really, no one likes getting a fines or
penalties but I've seen them cancel fines for less convincing
reasons and it seems they have less leniency to those who reside
in London. Conspiracy/opinion which I know people are not fond
of on this site.
Forgive my frustrations as this week hasn't been easy and as a
result I'm just venting. I appreciate this site and your advice.
