I got fined for driving in a bus lane - do I need to notify my insurer?

I was picked up on camera driving in a bus lane and fined £60. Does this count as a conviction and do I have to inform my insurance company?

A conviction is when you get points on your license, if you do not get points then it is not a conviction. You would not need to notify your insurer as a result.
