About this bus lane
| Direction | Operating times | Who may use it |
|---|---|---|
| South-east bound | 7am to 10am and 4pm to 7pm, Monday to Saturday | buses, cycles and taxis (black cabs) |
A further marked section, north-west bound, has no operating times recorded in Transport for London's bus lane database — a gap in the dataset rather than proof it is switched off, so treat it as in force and follow the roadside sign. Hillingdon Council runs two bus lane enforcement cameras on Uxbridge Road, one at the retail park and one outside number 178, and named both when asked in August 2026 to list every camera-enforced bus lane and bus gate in the borough (freedom of information request FOI 05675, answered 21 August 2026).
This page covers the road as a whole, so the times above may not be the times posted at the camera you passed.

Frequently asked questions
What are the operating times of the Uxbridge Road bus lane?
London Borough of Hillingdon's published record gives the operating times of the Uxbridge Road Bus Lane in Hillingdon as “Varies by direction — see notes” rather than a single time range, so the sign at the start of the lane is the definitive source.
How much is the fine for driving through the Uxbridge Road bus lane?
London Borough of Hillingdon issues a Penalty Charge Notice of £160, reduced to £80 if paid within 14 days. There are no penalty points — it is a civil penalty.
Who is allowed to use the Uxbridge Road bus lane?
Buses, black cabs (hackney carriages) and pedal cycles are permitted. Not permitted: cars, vans, lorries, private hire vehicles and motorcycles.
Can I appeal a PCN from the Uxbridge Road bus lane?
Yes, and it costs nothing. Make formal representations to London Borough of Hillingdon first — the authority that issued the PCN has to consider them before it can enforce the penalty. If London Borough of Hillingdon rejects them it must issue a Notice of Rejection, and you can then appeal free to the Environment and Traffic Adjudicators at London Tribunals. Its adjudicators are lawyers independent of the enforcing authority, and their decision is binding on both sides. London Borough of Hillingdon does not publish this bus lane's operating times centrally, which makes signage the decisive issue: the restriction has to be signed clearly enough to be understood on approach, and unclear signage is a recognised ground of appeal. Note that paying the £80 discounted rate accepts liability and closes the case, so challenge before you pay.
