Greenwich, bus lane 34J, misidentified reg plate

Posted on pepipoo before this
Hi all,
Wondering what happens next on my appeal. I received a PCN that
I drove in a bus lane in Greenwich (Royal Borough of) on 27 Oct
2023. However, the photographic evidence is for a different reg
plate: mine is GV but the photo shows GY, (distorted because of
a dark bolt holding the reg plate) rest of the characters are
the same.
I was on the Wirral at the time of the incident, 240 mi from the
supposed bus lane. I have Google location history and I have
telematics insurance showing I was driving between there and
Manchester at the time.
The car in the photo was a different make and model to mine,
which is clear from the shape and position of the rear lights.
I submitted these points of evidence. Do you think my appeal is
going to be successful? When and how should I hear?
The person who did it was very brazen about it by the video so
I'm also anxious of further notices.
Grateful for any reassurance.

Your answers:
-Question 1 : 'Please explain in as much detail as possible why
you think your PCN should be cancelled'
Answer : '1. The car shown in the evidence photo and
video is not my car. The car shown is a different model from
mine, mine is a Kia Picanto. This is evident from the shape of
rear lights (evidence item 1)
2. The registration plate has been misidentified, as it is clear
in the photo provided by you that it is GYxxxxx (Y not V for the
second letter) (evidence item 2). GYxxxxx is a grey BMW 520,
which does match that shape and colour.
3. From 18.31 to 19.39 on 27/10/2023, my car and I were en route
from postcode CH64 6SB (Neston on the Wirral) to (redacted, my
house), which is 240 mi from the indicated bus lane. I have
Google location history and a telematics insurance from Hastings
Direct that shows this. I was with another person in my car
(redacted, boyfriend) who was also in the car and can provide a
statement (evidence item 3)'
-Question 2 : 'Would you like to upload any other documents to
support your case?'
Answer : 'Yes'
-Question 3 : 'Please upload a copy of your supporting

Not much more to say really.
Just see what comes back and if needs be if they reject,
register an appeal to adjudicators.
TBH, you've put in much more then I would have bothered with.
My take would have been:-
This is not my car but one which your evidence shows has a
registration plate GY*****
As this PCN has been issued in error, I look forward to your
cancellation.
What you've sent is fine and covers it all so no worries.
Don't be tempted to pay it, let us know what happens pls

Don't forget if they reject you can't appeal yet: you'll have to
wait for the enforcement notice, then make formal
representations against that, then if they reject again you can
take it to the tribunal. I'd recommend you take Hippocrates's
offer of representation at the tribunal stage.
