A big thank you to Bernie the Bolt and all other kind users. I appealed via email about my bus penalty (penalty issued on 15/09/10), borrowing heavily from Bernie's original appeal. Received the "gesture of goodwill" reply today by TfL, cancelling the penalty notice. I am now going to write to my MP, asking him to write to TfL for scrapping this pointless 'revenue generation' bus lane. Again, many thanks.
