tower hamlets bus lane camera PCN

hello all

I received a PCN from tower hamlets going on a bus lane camera. The contravention was timed at 18:53 - I am 100% certain I looked at the car clock and it was 19:01 hence why I went onto the bus lane as the times the bus lane were active were between 16:00-1900. How do I prove that their cameras clock is faulty? Can I also use a faulty signage(facing the wrong way please see the google image) as a defence. 
Thanks in advance

    We specialise in private parking charges from unregulated private parking companies on this forum, so you would be better taking this over to our friends on pepipoo.com as they are the council and police motoring experts.

    You will need to sign up on pepipoo with a non-hotmail email address before reading the FAQs then posting both sides of your PCN with your query.

    Best bet for you is to visit the Pepipoo forums where they deal with council fines. Here we focus on PCNs from unregulated private parking companies.

    That might be difficult, but no more difficult than proving that your car clock was showing the correct time.

    We tend to concentrate on private parking matters here, but our colleagues over at pepipoo.com are well versed on moving traffic offences.
