Frequently asked questions
What are the operating times of the Inglis Green Road bus lane?
The Inglis Green Road Bus Lane in Edinburgh operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. There is no time of day when general traffic may use it.
How much is the fine for driving through the Inglis Green Road bus lane?

Can I appeal a PCN from the Inglis Green Road bus lane?
Yes, and it costs nothing. Challenge the charge with City of Edinburgh Council within 28 days of the date on the notice. If City of Edinburgh Council rejects them it must issue a Notice of Rejection, and you can then appeal free within 28 days of that rejection to the First-tier Tribunal for Scotland (General Regulatory Chamber). 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 £50 discounted rate accepts liability and closes the case, so challenge before you pay.
