Lucrative stretch of bus lane

A Greater London bus lane, not much longer than a double-decker, has generated almost £450,000 in fines in just under two years.

Data shows that the 11.90-m (39.04-ft) section of Northolt Road, South Harrow, caught out 7,854 drivers between April 2019 and December 2021.

Driver Geoffrey Ben-Nathan obtained the figures from the local authority after the 77-year-old had successfully overturned his own fine.

Harrow Council reiterated that it was against the law for motorists to use the stretch of bus lane.
