Can a bus lane PCN be cancelled because the camera time is wrong?
Check the official video and compare the date and time with any reliable records you have, such as dashcam timestamps, work logs or receipts.
If the bus lane operates only during specified hours, an incorrect timestamp can be especially important. Photograph the operating-hours sign and explain the mismatch.
The appeal should show why the error changes the legal position, not merely identify a trivial discrepancy that has no effect on the restriction.
Bus-lane PCNs are statutory notices. The official video evidence, operating hours, signs and exact vehicle movement are usually central to a useful challenge, so record those details before submitting anything.
Keep copies of every document and note the dates you sent or received correspondence. If formal court papers arrive, respond through the court process by the stated deadline rather than assuming an earlier appeal or complaint has paused proceedings.
