Probably consist of them being very condescending and having to listen to a load of stuff about how cyclists are irresponsible - if you don't want to pay the ticket, just swallow your pride and sweetly smile your way through.
Might be worth getting in touch with TFL if the signage is inadequate, perhaps even grounds to dispute the ticket? Although, that's sheer speculation on my part...
EDIT Took a look at the 'road show': https://www.cityoflondon.police.uk/news-and-appeals/Pages/Exchanging-Places-road-show.aspx
You get to sit in a lorry cab and learn about how badly designed they are. So, you know, all good that we get to learn about that and nobody tries to legislate for improved HGV design...

I got an invitation to their Safety Road Show (Exchanging Places) at St Pauls on the 21st of July to clear my ticket. Does anyone know what that consist of? Do I have to give a presentation or something?
Are you any good with Powerpoint?

sooo I got a ticket today on Newgate Street for cycling opposite traffic as half the road is closed.
Well, I partially understand that they fine me. However, over the past few weeks, several times I passed police officers on that road and they did not bat an eye that I was cycling that way - I even had a chat with one of them and she said it's going to take about 3 months til the works are finished. Also, they kept the bike lane and the signs are a bit misleadingly placed. Also every other cyclists use that bike lane - I know it does not make it less wrong, but still, they just fined me and 3 others.
