Hi,
Hoping someone can advise here. I temporarily parked in a marked loading bay on a red route for a few minutes while collecting a package from the post office opposite which I understand constitutes loading- i.e collecting a pre arranged item (I could be very wrong here however). I no longer have the collection slip given to me by Royal Mail but it may be possible to get a statement from the Post Office
The contravention code is stated as 46: Stopped where prohibited (on a red route clearway), and the alleged offense was recorded by camera rather than a human. I have read elsewhere on this forum that the correct code for this should be Code 25: Parked in a loading place during restricted hours without loading.
Is that correct, and if I can get a statement from the post office, am I technically loading an item?

Here's a shot from street view- although I think it's a couple of years old so may not be of any use..
Many thanks in advance,
