I agree. All it takes is late evening and sunday working. In all of the
places that I have lived in an around London it is normal to find double
yellows treated like they are there at these times of the week. I could
ticket 50 cars in as long as it takes to write them on a Sunday.


In many areas, it is perfectly legal to park on double yellow lines in
the late evening and on a Sunday. And if it isn't, you can be *very*
sure that tickets will be issued!
Not correct
I believe the new regs only allow double yellows to be used where 'No
waiting at any time' restrictiona apply.

Not quite correct. There can be posted 'seasonal exceptions'.

I think you'll find that late evening and on a Sunday are when the
parking attendants are not on shift. If they were, you'll probably be
ticketed, whatever the local notices might say.

In my experience, it's just when they *are* on shift, to try to catch
you out.....
