No, I paid £60 or £65 pounds. Hence the rant I think it is well worth fighting it. Unless they have added more signs, there is absolutely no indication until the very last monent when you are actually driving on the lane. Even if you are quick to react, you'd have to brake and try to join the outside lane, probably risking an accident and generally causing more harm than actually driving on this pathetic little bus lane (it is about 60 yards long?)

I think I have 14 days in which to make an appear or to pay the half price, else I will have to pay the full price. By the time they reply to me I presume the deadline will be over.

I have read the case above and the judge said "There are insufficient other warning signs of the restrictions " - which is precisely what I used in my appeal. Considering that driving behind a bus (which I was as shown on the photo) can obscure the "bus only" signs which were positioned after the beginning of the bus lane. Here is my appeal: 1) There are insufficient other warning signs of the restrictions – there are no signs placed before the start of the restrictions. 2) The signs of the restrictions that do exist are placed after the start of the restrictions, and when driving behind a bus you will not likely see them. 3) There are road arrows in close proximity preceding the restrictions, which indicate “forward” therefore are contradicting and misleading, since “forward” is abruptly and without notice contradicted by the restrictions. If it fails, well I will pay the fine, but it is worth a shot as I truly believe the signage is bad. As you have noticed I have avoided using the term "bus lane" because it was not clear if this was a "bus lane" or a "bus gate"...

Hi I am sure there is video evidence of me driving on the bus lane. They have sent me two pictures one with the car's number plates and another on the bus lane just about where it ends. However the blue "bus only" signs are well within the start of the bus lane - is there a requirement that there be advanced signs for bus lanes, eg 30 meters before the actual start of the bus lane?

Yes, you go over London Bridge, drive a bit further on and there it is. On the PCM it says "King William St/Arthur St".

I was driving into London and entered a bus lane and received a penalty. I have checked the area using google maps and street view and would like to know if I can contest it. It happened at the end of London Bridge, going north. There are two lanes going north. At the point of trouble, both lanes have white road arrows indicating "straight ahead". However the left lane then veers left and the straight ahead portion becomes a bus lane. In my case I was misled by the straight arrow thinking it is safe to go straight, and then entered the bus lane and it was too late to brake. There are no other indications that the road ahead is for busses only, the only signs are placed past the entry into the bus lane. I attach two photos so you can see the situation. Can I contest this ticket in any way? Many thanks.
