About this bus lane
This bus lane runs at all times — there is no off-peak period when you may drive in it. Buses, cycles, motorcycles and hackney carriages (black cabs) may use it; private hire cars and minicabs may not.
The camera here also covers a yellow box junction, which is enforced separately. A bus lane penalty is £70, halved to £35 if you pay within 21 days.
Buckinghamshire Council publishes none of this on its website: the hours, the permitted vehicles and the penalty rate all come from its written answer to a Freedom of Information request.
Transcribed from Buckinghamshire Council’s response to Freedom of Information request 16764291, dated 7 August 2026.

Got a PCN from this camera?
Don't panic, and don't ignore it. Pay £35 within 21 days to halve the charge — or if the signage was unclear, the details are wrong, or you had a genuine reason to be in the lane, consider challenging it first. Our step-by-step appeal guide covers the grounds that actually win.
Frequently asked questions
What are the operating times of the Oxford Road bus lane?
The Oxford Road Bus Lane in Aylesbury operates at all times. There is no time of day when general traffic may use it.
How much is the fine for driving through the Oxford Road bus lane?
Buckinghamshire Council issues a Penalty Charge Notice of £70, reduced to £35 if paid within 21 days. There are no penalty points — it is a civil penalty.
Who is allowed to use the Oxford Road bus lane?
Buses, pedal cycles, motorcycles and hackney carriages are permitted. Not permitted: cars, vans, lorries and private hire vehicles.
Can I appeal a PCN from the Oxford Road bus lane?
Yes, and it costs nothing. Make formal representations to Buckinghamshire Council first — the authority that issued the PCN has to consider them before it can enforce the penalty. If Buckinghamshire Council rejects them it must issue a Notice of Rejection, and you can then appeal free to the Traffic Penalty Tribunal. Its adjudicators are lawyers independent of the enforcing authority, and their decision is binding on both sides. This bus lane operates 24 hours, so "I was outside the operating times" is not open to you — the grounds that win here are that your vehicle was exempt, that the details on the PCN are wrong, or that the signage did not make the restriction clear. Note that paying the £35 discounted rate accepts liability and closes the case, so challenge before you pay.
