Almost certainly, yes.

The bus was issued a PCN, which is done by automated ANPR cameras. The VRM would've been missing from a whitelist maintained by the council, and clearly it was not updated or deployed to the unit, so a mistake happens.

Usually there is a person in between the issue of a PCN and the actual sending of the PCN, but obviously someone was asleep at the wheel, or budget cuts meant they couldn't personally verify them.

So, the PCN was sent out erroneously.

It's trivial to appeal as well, they'd just need to call up, say it's a bus, and it will probably immediately get cancelled.
