Indigo Parking Fine: Online ticket says valid all day

Hi,

Received a £60 parking fine from Indigo on behalf of Govia Thameslink Railway for not displaying a parking ticket at Eridge train station. £100 if not paid within 14 days.

The ticket was issued on 04/06/18 @ 15:00 however I bought a ticket at 15:43 via the app. It's not possible to buy a ticket at the station given there is no signal. The receipt for the ticket I bought on the app says:

Your Purchase made on 04/06/2018 15:43:
Eridge, Eridge Road, Tunbridge, Kent TN3 9LE
04/06/2018 00:00 to 04/06/2018 23:59
Time: 1 Pass
Rate: Daily Weekday
Amount: £2.80

The ticket says the pass validates me for the whole day so would like to better understand my chances if I appeal this ticket.

Thanks.

    No need for any more threads about Indigo at railway car parks:

    Your chances of getting it cancelled on appeal are zero, but it will all die a death in 6 months. Please no more questions (unless I am wrong in 6 months time); we have no time to keep repeating the same advice that never changes on these ones - and we don't need updates re the ZZPS and QDR scary letters.

    Seen those tedious letters more than enough, by reading other threads the same, and so will you.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    and edit post #1 and remove any hint of who was driving
    the DRIVER bought a ticket by APP on the day after they had parked

    the ticket validates the DRIVER all day to park , validating the vehicle itself, not the person


    the KEEPER has received any postal notices etc

    appeal as keeper, then sit back for the long haul for 6 months until the MAGS COURT threat has passed
