Frequently asked questions
What are the operating times of the Burntwood Lane bus lane?
The Burntwood Lane Bus Lane in Wandsworth 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 Burntwood Lane bus lane?
Wandsworth 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 Burntwood Lane bus lane?
Buses are permitted. Not permitted: cars, vans, lorries, taxis and private hire vehicles and motorcycles.
Can I appeal a PCN from the Burntwood Lane bus lane?
Yes, and it costs nothing. Make formal representations to Wandsworth Council first — the authority that issued the PCN has to consider them before it can enforce the penalty. If Wandsworth 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. 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 £80 discounted rate accepts liability and closes the case, so challenge before you pay.
