When is a bus not a bus? Bus fined for using bus lane.

https://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/news/23717998.newcastle-promoters-fined-using-vintage-double-decker-bus-lane/

Pretty amusing story on the surface, but it seems the fine is justified. Busses for the purposes of bus lane usage are defined as "vehicles with at least 10 seats" but if the lane is specifically marked as a "Local Bus Lane" it's specific to busses running local authorized routes.

TIL when a bus isn't a bus.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
