    Hi @matty1234 - did you have any luck with your PCN for the congestion charge? I didn't know about the changes in rule either,  travelled to the congestion charge zone on bank holiday, 31st August and have now received a PCN.
    The first reply on this thread, by @Redx, may help you.

    Hi everyone. I had a similar experience and got mine overturned. Just wanted to let people know how:
    I had borrowed my parents car for a weekend trip and wasn't aware that congestion charge now applies on weekends. I appealed online and basically told the truth as succinctly as I could. Detailing how I wasn't the normal driver, hadn't driven in London since before the changes and also wasn't aware of the changes being brought forward. Also mentioned I'm a student with limited income. Seems to have done the trick because they accepted the points and cancelled the PCN. Definitely worth a try if you have a similar case!
    Good luck all, 
    Matt
