TFL Bus lane ticket on Christmas day
DIR By: gimpel

---------------------------------------------------------
Hi i received a ticket for driving on a bus lane on the 25th of
December I drove there having seen this
HTML https://tfl.gov.uk/corporate/transparency/freedom-of-information/foi-request-detail?referenceId=FOI-2051-1718<br
/>previously where it clearly states that TFL does not enforce
bus lanes on Christmas.
Any help?

This is easily beatable, and not just on the FOI letter, but
it's a speciality of 'Hippocrates', so I'll let him explain it.
You must be prepared to forego the discount, though, as TfL
almost never give way, and I suspect they won't even when they
can see their own officer's name on the letter.

Use this as a basic draft but omit the part about camera
authorisation for the moment.

You can mention the FOIR but be careful not to admit to driving
on the bus lane because of it. Say you saw it AFTER the alleged
incident and I would make a fresh one in any case to see if it
has been amended.
NB: In this law, if it goes the full distance, they MUST attend
a hearing to answer my questions or their evidence is
inadmissible. AFAIR I have done about 5, 3 not contested and 2
won because they messed up. In any event, in my discussions
with [member=1]cp8759[/member] they have staffing problems
currently so may well choose the former course of action. But,
be prepared for the long game.

This heavily implies you drove into the bus lane deliberately. I
did not say you shouldn't use the link. I said maybe AFTER the
alleged incident. You could ask them a question about it or
indeed make another fresh FOIR.
