Bus lane cameras in England pocketed £31 million from motorists in 2015-16, with the one on John Dobson Street in Newcastle-upon-Tyne even making £6,000 from almost 4,000 drivers each day.

Figures obtained by the BBC have revealed the top 10 most lucrative bus lanes in the country, with London, Newcastle and Manchester occupying most of the top spots.

Over 60,000 motorists have been caught in just eight months driving down the bus lane on John Dobson Street.

Newcastle City Council took £1.5million from the 62,975 fine notices issued between February 23 and October 31 last year as a result.
