always appeal even if you know your in the wrong

[Guest Mee-9]

Too right. 

 

A lack of punctuation like that should be punished.

As in the lane right outside the train station that is clearly marked for buses and taxis - that one?

pay the fine and let us know how you feel in 'what grinds my gears'

Right outside the station, heading out of town?

 

The bus lane starts before the bus stop I think. And it has BUS LANE painted in it in massive letters

 

[richardsfoxes]

Yeah fair play that punctuation was strong :), nope that's round the side i believe mine was right out the front and from what i can see it just has bus stop on the floor.

On Google Earth it shows the bus lane "starting" just outside the station entrance. BUS LANE is written there, then a few yards later, the BUS STOP. The sign says Mon - Fri 4-6pm.

 

But there is also a bus stop just before the entrance which does not appear to be part of the bus lane?

It was on a saturday at 8PM it says on the sheet, i'll just appeal and see what happens.

a FOI request from some bloke asking about location of bus lanes and cameras in Leicester. 

 

It does appear that the one outside the station is Mon - Fri 4pm - 6pm so if it outside that time then you should be ok. Also says it is not enforced by a camera, but by the police so could be out of date.

 

I'd go back there asap and take a photo of any signs just to support your case. (maybe go on the bus!)

No punishment is great enough for you my friend....

 

Charged with:

1) Bus Lane Violation

2) Bad grammar/punctuation

3) Wasting FoxesTalk time by failing to declare important information 

 

For those reasons, I'm out...

Post the picture of your car in the bus lane on here. It might help.

 

Can you see what is next to your car? Were you forced to move partially into the bus lane to avoid an obstruction?
