Common sense prevails. No chance with TFL.
In Peckham the other weekend. There were roadworks everywhere. I could have stopped legally and blocked the road to pick up an elderly group.
It was before 8am on Saturday morning not much traffic at the loading box, At a better pick up spot and a loading bay, round the corner out the way. I was no more than 10 minutes picking UP at a much quieter place. causing no obstruction unlike the roadworks. where it would have blocked the road but legal.
As an operator common sense prevailed but to non surprise a ticket from TFL, having told them the reasons they still didn't cancel it
i appealed this time awaiting a response from the robots at TFL. Us operators in London and others who visit with passengers cant: Stop, park, pick up. Go to to the toilet or take legal breaks due these un-diplomatic un common sense tickets
Next time a coach is loading legally near roadworks you will all be aware why. in future i will be a robot like they are.
Maybe its about time I and others police TFL BUSES and send them the parking disasters they cause
