Frequently asked questions
What are the operating times of the Burbage Road bus gate?
The Burbage Road Bus Gate in Southwark operates 8am to 9am and 3pm to 4:30pm, Monday to Friday. Outside these hours, general traffic may use the road normally.
How much is the fine for driving through the Burbage Road bus gate?
Southwark Council 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 Burbage Road bus gate?
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 Burbage Road bus gate?
Yes, and it costs nothing. Make formal representations to Southwark Council first — the authority that issued the PCN has to consider them before it can enforce the penalty. If Southwark Council 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. The grounds that win here are that your vehicle was not in the bus gate during its operating times shown above, that it was an exempt vehicle, or that the approach signage did not give enough warning before the point of no return. Note that paying the £80 discounted rate accepts liability and closes the case, so challenge before you pay.
