Parking ticket for stopping on faded double-yellow lines on a Sunday. Is this fair?

I received a PCN for parking for 20 mins on very faded double-yellow lines on a 'one-way' side street - facing the correct way - where the double yellow lines appeared to be scrubbed out - as if to ease pre-Christmas parking (local council car parks had relaxed charges too). The double 'yellows' abutted a much more clearly marked 'single-yellow' bay (which of course was legitimate on a Sunday between the hours indicated on a sign just 5 metres from where I parked. Further, a sign at the start of the side road that indicated the end of parking restrictions was obscured by a 'back to front' no-entry sign just 2 feet in front of it. Do I have a case to appeal the PCN on either grounds?

That's probably grounds for an appeal if you have clear-cut photographic evidence.
