A bus lane that is only 39ft long has generated more than £440,000 in fines in just under two years.
Recent figures showed 7,854 drivers were caught driving on the small section of Northolt Road at the junction with Alexandra Avenue, in South Harrow, between April 2019 and the end of 2021.
The figures were obtained by Geoffrey Ben-Nathan, 77, a driver who submitted a freedom of information (FOI) request to Harrow Council after he managed to overturn his own fine on that stretch of the road.
In total, the council, who said the bus stop is in place 'in accordance with the law', generated £442,363.36 in the 21-month period.
