About this bus gate
Not yet in force. The permitted vehicles and the “at all times” restriction come from the statutory notice for the Stanground South Bus Gate order, advertised 14 May to 4 June 2026.
The council has confirmed that the order has still not been made and that no camera-enforcement start date has been set, so nothing here is enforceable yet and no PCN can be issued. Confirmed by Peterborough City Council FOI-202607009566 (response 14 August 2026).

Got a PCN from this camera?
Don't panic, and don't ignore it. Pay £35 within the discount period 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 Bellona Drive bus gate?
The Bellona Drive Bus Gate in Peterborough 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 Bellona Drive bus gate?
Peterborough City Council issues a Penalty Charge Notice of £70, reduced to £35 if paid within the discount period. There are no penalty points — it is a civil penalty.
Who is allowed to use the Bellona Drive bus gate?
Local buses, taxis and pedal cycles are permitted. Not permitted: cars, vans, motorcycles, lorries and private hire vehicles.
Can I appeal a PCN from the Bellona Drive bus gate?
Yes, and it costs nothing. Make formal representations to Peterborough City Council first — the authority that issued the PCN has to consider them before it can enforce the penalty. If Peterborough 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. This bus gate 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 approach signage did not give enough warning before the point of no return. Note that paying the £35 discounted rate accepts liability and closes the case, so challenge before you pay.
