off the main junction with an A road, and I can see now it looks
like a 30 road as well ::) No idea how he's managed to go
through the same set of speed cameras both ways within a minute.

Yup, terminal signs Here

/>- and then the system of street lighting maintains the
restriction. (There will be other terminal signs from the other
approaches too)
If the offences were in different directions I find it unlikely
they'll relent easily. (But don't ask, don't get)
The signage says it's an average-based system - Here

/>over a fairly short distance. I presumed shot past them one
way, swung around the roundabout and shot past the other way...
(The minute difference being the time difference in passing the
last camera to calculate the average)
There's an argument it was 'on the same occasion' but the court
angle still applies.

Thank you for your reply, and all the advice given.
We will approach the police as you suggest but I don't hold out
much hope! He might be looking at clean licence to 9 points all
in the space of half an hour :(
Thanks again.

9 points? At worst 6, at best 3.
EDIT: Just seen your edit (Remember speed awareness course may
be available to avoid points)

That stretch of Woburn Road covered by average speed cameras is
very short (500yds) but just one set of which North Beds is
strewn.
Ironically, it passes across the front of Beds Police
Headquarters.
The car has passed through the same set on the return trip after
turning at the roundabout by the Shell filling station.
Edit: What is the location of the third ticket thirty five
minutes later?

Apologies, baroudeur, I didn't realise there was another reply.
The third ticket was in Willington, near Station road.
Yes, I noticed the Police HQ, indeed ironic.
