What is a Ealing bus lane PCN?

A bus lane PCN from Ealing is a penalty charge notice issued for driving or parking in a bus lane during restricted hours. These are almost always enforced by CCTV camera rather than a civil enforcement officer on the street.

London Borough of Ealing must display signage compliant with the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions (TSRGD) at bus lane locations. Signs must show the operating hours, prohibited vehicle types, and days of operation. Road markings must also be correct and visible.

Common grounds for challenge include defective or missing signage, unclear or faded road markings, vehicle exemptions (such as taxis, cyclists, or vehicles turning left), and defects in the camera evidence itself.

Parking Mate UK checks your Ealing bus lane PCN against all signage, marking, and camera evidence requirements. If defects are found, you receive a professional appeal letter citing the specific grounds for formal representations to London Borough of Ealing or appeal to London Tribunals.

Common Ealing bus lane PCN defects

Signage defects

Ealing must display TSRGD-compliant bus lane signage showing operating hours, prohibited vehicles, and days of operation. Missing, obscured, or non-compliant signs can invalidate the PCN.

Road marking defects

Bus lane road markings must be visible and correctly applied. Faded markings, missing BUS text on the road, or unclear lane boundaries can support a challenge.

Camera evidence defects

CCTV evidence must clearly show the vehicle in the bus lane during restricted hours. Unclear images, incorrect timestamps, and missing calibration records are common defects.

Vehicle exemption

Certain vehicles are exempt from Ealing bus lane restrictions including taxis, cyclists, and motorcyclists in some areas. If your vehicle was exempt, the PCN is invalid.

Incorrect contravention code

The code on your Ealing bus lane PCN must match the alleged offence. Code 40 (parking in bus lane) and code 41 (driving in bus lane) have different requirements.

Successful appeal against a PCN from a car park with poorly worded signs. Premier Park rejected my first appeal, so I went to the ombudsman where it was accepted. Definitely worth the effort.

FAQs

Ealing Bus Lane PCN FAQs

Common questions about Ealing Bus Lane PCNs and how Parking Mate UK helps you get the strongest chance of getting your Ealing penalty charge cancelled.

How do I appeal a Ealing bus lane PCN?

To appeal a Ealing bus lane penalty charge notice, make informal representations to London Borough of Ealing within 28 days setting out your grounds. Common grounds include incorrect signage, unclear road markings, and camera evidence defects. Parking Mate UK identifies which grounds apply to your notice.

What contravention codes does Ealing use for bus lane PCNs?

Ealing bus lane PCNs typically use contravention code 40 (parking in a bus lane) or code 41 (driving in a bus lane). The code on your PCN must accurately match the alleged offence. A mismatch is a procedural defect that Parking Mate UK flags automatically.

Does Ealing use cameras for bus lane enforcement?

Yes, Ealing bus lane PCNs are almost always issued by CCTV camera. Camera-issued PCNs must include clear photographic evidence with accurate timestamps. Common defects include unclear images, incorrect camera angles, and missing calibration records. Parking Mate UK checks all of these.

What signage is required for a Ealing bus lane?

Ealing must display signage compliant with the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions (TSRGD). Bus lane signs must show the operating hours, the vehicle types prohibited, and the days of operation. Missing, obscured, or non-compliant signage can invalidate a Ealing bus lane PCN.

Are there exemptions from Ealing bus lane restrictions?

Common exemptions from Ealing bus lane restrictions include taxis, cyclists, motorcyclists (in some areas), and vehicles turning left. The specific exemptions depend on the traffic management order for each bus lane. If your vehicle was exempt, this is a valid ground for challenging the PCN.

What are the road marking requirements for a Ealing bus lane?

Ealing bus lanes must have correct road markings as specified by TSRGD. This includes the word BUS painted on the road and the correct coloured surface where applicable. If road markings are missing, faded, or contradictory, this can support a Ealing bus lane PCN challenge.

How much is a Ealing bus lane fine?

A Ealing bus lane PCN is a higher-band contravention carrying a penalty of up to £160, reduced to £80 if paid within 14 days. In London, the amounts may vary by borough. Challenging the PCN suspends the payment deadline until the challenge is resolved.

Can I appeal a Ealing bus lane PCN to London Tribunals?

Yes. If London Borough of Ealing rejects your formal representations against a bus lane PCN, you can appeal to London Tribunals within 28 days. An independent adjudicator reviews the evidence. Parking Mate UK prepares your case for tribunal with the specific grounds and evidence that adjudicators look for.
