I'm trying to find out if I have any grounds for appeal against a Penalty
Charge Notice. Because of an accident in the Euston Underpass the police
diverted traffic off the Marylebone Road into the Congestion Zone which I
had not intended to use.

I then had to plot a new route crossing Waterloo Bridge, but thought I
had
left the zone just before 7.00am. However, it turns out I was caught on
camera at 7.01am. Anyone know if I have good grounds for appeal?

Also, if I pay now it's only £40.00. But if I appeal and lose does that
mean
I have to pay £80.00 - or £40.00 if I pay quickly.

You would only have grounds for appeal if you followed the diversion
route set up by the police. Probably worth a try though.

Mmmm! I wouldn't mind trying to appeal, but not if it was going to cost
another £40.00 if I lost. It's not clear what you have to pay if you lose.

Assuming you appeal within 14 days of receiving the original PCN, you
should preserve the right to pay the reduced charge.

HTH,
