Appealing PCN for parking on single yellow line (Newham)

Hi Guys,

I am looking to appeal a PCN I received for 'Parked in restricted street during prescribed hours' . I feel as though the ticket guy is trying to chance this one, the cars parked behind me didnt have parking tickets but were there before I arrived, nor did they have pay and display tickets on show. I was only there for a short time and assumed it was ok as there was a couple of other cars parked there already.

To give you a better picture, where I am parked is a faded single yellow line (In fact i'm parked over the section that is completed faded away as you can see from the pictures), Directly in front of my car (around 2 further) is pavement making it a dead end road, this single yellow line follows to opposite the road where there are 2 bays for the pay and display parking. These were full at the time I arrived.

From my understanding there needs to be a display for the single yellow line stated the hours that you cannot park. The only display I can see is for the 2 pay and display bays across the road. I am looking to possibly appeal on the basis there is no sign for the single yellow. (Would like advise on this)

In addition the area I am parked over is very faded/completed faded as you can see from the picture A PCN surely cannot be issued when the single yellow is barely visible?

Please advise on what you guys think.

Here's a link with the photos I took and photos council put on the PCN.
My photos are on dropbox but I cannot post the full link as I am a new user.
Please copy the first part and second part of the link.
