About this bus lane
This paired inbound/outbound entry was recovered after Birmingham's directory listed both lanes with identical location text, which briefly caused the outbound entry to be dropped as a duplicate during the initial harvest — restored by hand from the original harvest data.
Birmingham City Council's bus lane directory records this bus lane as Bordesley Green East, outbound, east of Station Road, without giving a precise extent — the roadside sign marks exactly where it starts and ends. Other traffic may use it outside the operating hours shown above (7am to 7pm, Monday to Saturday).
Solo motorcycles are on the permitted list here; not every Birmingham bus lane allows them, so don't assume the next one does.

How much is the fine for driving through the Bordesley Green East bus lane?

Who is allowed to use the Bordesley Green East bus lane?
Bus, licensed taxi, pedal cycle and solo motorcycle are permitted. Not permitted: cars, vans and lorries.
Can I appeal a PCN from the Bordesley Green East bus lane?
Yes, and it costs nothing. Make formal representations to Birmingham City Council first — the authority that issued the PCN has to consider them before it can enforce the penalty. If Birmingham City 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. The grounds that win here are that your vehicle was not in the bus lane during its operating times (Mon–Sat 7am–7pm), that it was an exempt vehicle, or that the signage did not make the restriction clear. It is worth doing: Birmingham City Council accepted 39% of the 1,206 formal challenges it received in 2025/26, and of the 459 that went on to the tribunal, 174 succeeded (figures from its own FOI response). Note that paying the £35 discounted rate accepts liability and closes the case, so challenge before you pay.
