Speeding ticket at A4 Great West Road Sutton Lane TW5

Received the alleged offence letter for speeding on the Great
West Road.
This road has always been 40 miles, but they have recently
changed it to 30 miles.
Any way could this be challenged?

Were the 40mph signs still there? Has the relevant traffic
order been amended?

I will have to visit the road again to check if 40 mph is still
in place but I found something on TFL

Seems likely order is ok.
The thing with converting a 40mph to 30mph limit (where there is
an existing system of street lighting) then they simply have to
remove the 40mph signs.
However, one would have past a terminal sign entering the limit.
(Or if starting within it then the street lights make it a
restricted road of 30mph anyway in the absence of signs to the
contrary)
