Arundel Gate 34J - being in a bus lane (Sheffield)

Morning,
From my limited/primitive "Man search" I probably should address
this email to @hypprocates.
Basically, my better half received a Bus Lane PCN for a 34J
being in a Bus lane, on Arundel Gate (Northeast Bound).
She appealed this before I became aware of the incident. The
appeal was on the basis of the following:
Poor Signage
No adequate means to/or warning to turn around
Not being from the area
First offence
The offence is for a Bus lane contravention, yet it is actually
for allegedly passing through a bus gate.
These representations were duly dismissed by Sheffield City
Council.
So....
I have viewed the Evidence, which shows nothing more than a
vehicle driving along a road, from a head on view and it does
not show any of the signage it has allegedly passed.
So my question is what is the best form of defence, the request
of CCTV for driving through the alledged signage.
happy to post copies of paperwork, just thought I would clarify
first.
Thanks
Lynch

Is there no video on their website ? Most councils have photos
and video. The photos are, of course, frames from the video
which is the sole evidence.
If you want full and proper advice from the experts, please read

As regards getting reps rejected, do be aware that councils
reject >95% of reps because they know that most people then just
cough-up. Don't just assume the council rejection means the
signage is adequate; in the council world, all signage is
perfect. Experience of this forum is that it isn't in a great
many cases !

Thank you for your time replying.
All evidence is from a head on view, video/stills just show a
car driving. I think you have answered my main concern, that
being using the CCTV request after failed reps.
