Motorists caught in the wrong lane could have their fines refunded after a £900,000 bus lane blunder. A total of 15,359 drivers were fined up to £120 after being caught in the bus lane in Eden Street, Kingston, since it was introduced on July 13, 2009.
However, an adjudicator at the parking and traffic appeals service last week overturned a fine incurred on October 3, 2010. Edward Houghton said he was not satisfied the [bus lane] signage was lawful, meaning Kingston Council could now be forced to fork out thousands in refunds.
