       Hello
       I have receieved this bus lane charge. I am confused as i often
       drive down this road, and have not got a PCN before.

       I wanted to know whether this is worth appealing or asking for
       more information before I go ahead and just blindly pay the
       requested amount.
       Thanks

       Bus lanes and this bus gate all have signs showing they operate
       24x7, so how you got away with it before puzzles me.

       Maybe the video recorder had run out of memory when you passed !

       Indeed, that seems like the most likely explanation. I have been
       PCN'd here before but it was a while ago, and I remember driving
       down it recently and not reeceiving the PCN.
       Is it best to pay it at the discounted rate now, or is there any
       way out of it??

       The signs seem clear enough on GSV, so I cannot see any robust
       appeal case, sorry to say it. Have you looked at their video yet
       ?
