Newcastle City Centre - Pilgrim St - No Car Lanes

While driving through Newcastle City Centre the other day (not a part I usually drive). I accidently drove down a part of Pilgrim Street and left onto Blackett Street, right up to the junction with Newgate/Percy St which was signed as a 'No Car' lane.

Just wondering if these streets have ticket issuing cameras, or have I got off with it?

I had a look on Google Streetview and can't see a camera on Pilgrim Street but that was 2008 so could have changed since.

    I can't answer that, but if you do end up with a penalty notice, pop over to https://www.pepipoo.com as this forum tends to deal with private parking tickets. You will get more targeted advice there if you need it.

    I think you mean you drove past monument and old Eldon square on a road that has been buses only for as long as I can remember. I'd be surprised if you don't get a ticket TBH. I'm pretty sure it has cameras. As advised take it to Pepipoo if you do see one.
