First timer here :)
On boxing day I received a pcn for being in a bus lane. The bus
lane started with just the thick line, no taper, no blue sign
and no "bus lane" written on the floor
Any help would be appreciated

Please post a GSV link to the exact location, and also tell us
your journey details up to the point of getting the PCN. The
photos show you in a bus lane that has a crossing with white
zig-zags by it. This means the bus lane broad white line is
discontinued for the crossing, then it restarts. No sign is
necessary as the bus lane has already been signed at its start:

and here is the interruption of the line for the crossing: -

Hence we need to know your journey to see if you missed the bus
lane signs at the start of it.

As this is a bus lane matter I will make an exception and am
happy to take this one on.

Hi all
Thanks for replying
This is the google maps link

It was dark so I couldnt really see but I turned into the zig
zag part after the lights. I had travelled on this road for
about half a mile by this point
This has been a learning time for me tbh

So you came along the main road, so would have passed the bus
lane sign, and would seem to have driven in it before you got to
the zig-zags, true ?
Bus lane PCNs can be overturned in many cases due to a quirk of
the legislation under which they are issued, but you need to
take the council to London Tribunals, and risk the full PCN
penalty if you lose. Hippocrates on here can explain it to you
and hopefully will soon.

OK, but you would have passed the bus lane sign, surely as you
drove along the A5 The Hyde, surely ? Bus lanes dont end unless
there is a sign saying so.
