Has anyone else challenged getting a ticket for being in the loading bay ouside Dulwich DIY ?

Last week I received a PCN for being in a bus lane before 10 am ,after which restrictions are lifted.

I didn't drive down the bus lane ,I just entered the section which was marked off as loading,but it is

before the sign saying that 'bus lane ends'. There are two poles next to the loading bay ,but they don't

have any signs on them to say that there is any time restrictions on loading. I have challenged the notice,

stating these facts but they have rejected it.The guys in Dulwich DIY told me im the 6th person yhey know of

that has been fined for this offence.

Should I challenge this again or just pay up in case they double the fine to ?130, does anyone know if I

have a case?

No that's not the definition of loading, which requires you to have already paid for the goods in question and just be collecting.

However, the offence was probably being in the bus lane. I fear that the bus lane times and markings have precedence here.

I didn't try to define 'loading', simply the time restrictions on it.


From the TFL website:


Loading time

Restricted to either 20 or 40 minutes depending on location. If no loading or unloading is noted after a five minute period, you may be issued with a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN).


ETA: I agree that the bus lane probably over-rides the loading bay. I wouldn't take Southwark/Apcoa on over it unless there were signs specifically saying it didn't.

Since there is no sign stating the terms of loading times, I would challenge it and say you were loading or unloading. They cannot prove the terms of loading or unloading. Thre is a similar one outside snockers restaurant in clapham junction (albeit not a bus lane) but I once received a pcn for parking longer than 20 minutes 'with no activity seen of loading or unloading', challenged it and at a tribunal I asked them to produce photographic evidence of the terms of unloading/ loading, they couldn't and it was reversed.

    • "You have no idea why"   To be fair Sue, it's blindingly obvious to anyone who has a conversation with anyone who isn't a Corbyn supporter. And even some who liked Corbyn (like me initially) found him somewhat flaky even at his most popular But let's say you are right and I have NO idea why anybody might not vote for him. They still didn't vote for him. He lost two elections. The second one badly (and strongly predicted but the stubborn old goat wouldn't budge so we we were stuck with Johnson and another 3 million PMs in the 5 years that followed) So even with ZERO evidence, we have our eyes and ears and brains But we do have evidence   https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/27022-their-own-words-why-voters-abandoned-labour
    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
    • Also, just to add, the threat to kill someone's dog and try to kick it, is an additional extremely unpleasant layer. I have noticed a lot of the burst water balloons lying around in the park too- that is not great for the environment either.
