What, it's on her way to the station where she catches the train to work
every day and she "had not realised it was one-way"?

Yeah, right.


fro m the article in question it seems that an officer for the crown
collection agency believed that the cyclist's thinking be wrong and
decided he could arrest despite there being no evidence that any
signage (whether or not exists) was contravened with intent, or
otherwise. By all accounts presented, this appears to be an unlawful
arrest causing personal injury and unnecessary detention.
