No need to post it twice. It just makes things confusing.

All you're doing is clogging up the opening page of AB.

i do apologise i dont post many questions and i posted to several topics to get a answer

Why don't you "report" three of your four posts and ask Ed to remove them due to duplication?

FYI, from AB Rules, bottom of page.

I suppose it depends on local bus lane rules and whether Tuesday becomes Saturday or Sunday when it's a bank holiday.
Which it doesn't. :)

No, as it was a Tuesday, bank holidays do not make any difference

[ummmm]

Baldric - are you the AB police or something?

[Baldric]

Lots of people don't know AB Rules even exist, does no harm to promote them now and again ;o)

if the bus lane is open to drivers on a bank holiday then yes but according to your post its just sat/sun in which case not. however i would check the website of the issuing council and see if it says anything there about bus lanes and bank hols or just ring them and ask

[ummmm]

I'd still appeal. You've nothing to lose.

Like I said in the other thread I appealed a parking ticket and they let me off.

Not many bus lanes differentiate between Bank Holidays and normal weekdays. A good start is to check the sign. Then you can go to your local council and see the Traffic Order that relates to the lane. If I had to bet I'd say you were on to a loser.
