Greenwich, 34J Bus Lane, Bugsby's Way SE7
DIR By: afterschool
Date: December 3, 2025, 5:16 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
Hello,
I turned into a bus lane before I was due to turn left and drove
for 20-30 meters in the bus lane. Just a simple mistake. This
took place on Bugsby's Way outside the Makro. Is there any hope
of appealing? I have just received the enforcement notice, I
somehow did not receive the initial PCN letter in the post.

Hm, you sure it was just 20-30 metres, it looks longer in the
video ? Anyway, it seems a fairly obvious contravention. Any
reason for entering the lane early ?
If you are prepared to take them all the way to London
Tribunals, our Hippocrates has developed a winning appeal based
on a clause in the 1996 Act which is shown at the top of your
PCN, but I'll let him explain it. But first you must submit
representations to Greenwich against the PCN. I wouold suggest
that these be based on only driving in the buslane for a very
short distance in order to turn left. They will, of course,
refuse these.

We need the other side of the EN and all the PCN too.

I did not realise I was in a bus lane
I entered the bus lane to avoid congestion
I stopped in the bus lane due to my medical condition
I was avoiding an accident
I was following a diversion / was directed into the bus lane
I was following my sat-nav / I was lost / I'm not from the area
I was in the bus lane, but it wasn't in operation at the time
I was in the bus lane, but not for a substantial distance
I was making way for an emergency vehicle
I was picking up / dropping off a passenger at the train station
I was picking up / dropping off a passenger
I was taking advice from others
I was unaware of the rules
I was unaware that couriers were not permitted in the bus lane
I was unfamiliar with the term "Bus Gate"
My vehicle is a taxi
My vehicle type is permitted to drive in bus lanes
There was a road closure so the bus lane was not in operation
There was nowhere to turn around and avoid the bus gate
There were no buses in the bus lane at the time
Other reasons
Non bus lane specific reasons that will appear in Bus Lane
context
Select a reason:
A friend / family member recently passed away
I didn't see / understand the signage
I have already paid the PCN
I was not at the location on the day
I was not the driver
I was not the owner / keeper of the vehicle
I was unaware that a PCN had been issued as I've been away
My vehicle had broken down
My vehicle was cloned
My vehicle was stolen
The owner of the vehicle has passed away
The vehicle was on hire to someone else
None of the above
If none of the above reasons apply, and you wish to challenge
your PCN, please select below:
Select a reason:
Any other reason
*******
Then type in any of the legal grounds and save the result for
each in the search bar.
*****
I do not know what you first challenge was but I suggest this:
I make this formal representation against the PCN and EN. The
alleged contravention is not supported by the video evidence as
there are no upright signs allegedly passed. Please cancel both
documents therefore.
*************
Finally, in this legislation they MUST attend a hearing when
required by the appellant (or me!) and their evidence must be
watertight too. These days they are not contesting many many
appeals at the Tribunal in any case.

The full enforcement notice pl(all sides and not cut off at the
bottom).
I somehow did not receive the initial PCN letter in the post.
More details pl. For example, are you the registered keeper and
is the enforcement notice addressed to you correctly?
