PCN for parked during restricted hours - Sign shows different

Hi,
Regardless of the times, this was emergency as I was dropping
off medication needed by my girlfriend in the building I had
parked next too. This was the closest place accessible to her.
What is quite confusing is as shown in the GSV the times
mentioned is Monday-Friday but this PCN was given on a Saturday.
Or is this sign strictly for the bus lane? There is no other
signs shown on this street.
PCN, evidence & sign :

Appeal draft :
Dear City of Westminster,
I am writing to formally appeal the Penalty Charge Notice issued
on 13/12/2025.
Firstly, I believe the PCN has been issued incorrectly, as the
restricted time zone displayed applies from Monday to Friday
only. The alleged contravention took place on a Saturday, and
therefore the restriction was not in force at the time the PCN
was issued.
Secondly, I would like to appeal on compassionate and medical
grounds. My girlfriend, who lives at 54 Chelsea Bridge Road,
urgently required her prescribed medication after it was
accidentally left in my possession in the car. This medication
had been prescribed for a heart-related condition, and delaying
access to it posed a serious risk to her health. In order to get
the medication to her as quickly and safely as possible, I
parked at the closest available location to her address.
I acted in good faith and solely out of concern for her
wellbeing, with no intention to contravene any parking
restrictions. I will be providing evidence of her prescribed
medication along with a signed statement from her to support
this appeal.
I respectfully ask that you take these circumstances into
consideration and cancel the Penalty Charge Notice.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks

There is a restricted time zone sign way further down the road
so I guess this is the one that applies.

Do they expect us to be aware of this? What if I didn’t drive
down that route?

It's in Westminster controlled parking zone A2 which applies Mon
- Fri 8.30am - 6.30pm. Sat 8.30am - 1.30pm.
How long were you away from car?

The OP appears to be parked on Double Yellow Lines (thumbnails
in the original post are too small to be clear), which would
explain the Code 01.
Dropping off medication is unlikely to be accepted as informal
reps I would have thought, but stranger things have happened!

Single yellow but they must consider the circumstances.

Here is the relevant sign as one approaches Chelsea Bridge Road
to go north from CHelsea Embankment: -

There would need to be an identical sign at the zone entrance
coming the other way.
So where in GSV did you get this? : -

All you have is a polite ask for discretion. There is no
observation on the PCN so you can say what you did but without
giving away the time you were there.
