The issue you have is that you passed a repeater before you were
snapped.
Another issue is that will a judge believe you didn’t know the
local area but knew it well enough to travel down what appears
to be a farm track which conveniently just happens not to have a
terminal sign on it?
If you do take it to court refer to the by way by its name
rather than referring to it as a byway

Apologies for not acknowledging this disgruntchelt
I hadn't passed a repeater when his blue lights came on.
I think the second I became visible to the officer in his car
with his 'Unipar laser' he blue lighted. At that moment I was
thinking he was going to speed off to an emergency, until he
started following me so I pulled over.
I would 100% bring this up in court as I feel this is also an
important factor that plays in my favour

Fair enough about the repeater, I missed that you hadn’t passed
it.
If you mean you’ll call it by way in court rather than
Willingham Lane I think it would hurt your defence. Saying I
came along Willingham Lane and didn’t pass any 30 sign and the
TRO fails to mention Willingham Lane at all in terms of where
the limit starts or any signs it plays better imho.

Thanks for that disgruntchelt
I cant see how it can't stand in my favour and this is what I'm
getting concerned about when standing up in court
In my eyes its a no brainer that the ticket should be dropped.
I can't see how they can even enforce this area as it simply
isn't signed adequately
What I'm concerned about is whether they can say: 'We don't
believe you came from Willingham Lane as you have no proof so
this ticket stands'

Absent any evidence that would tend to contradict your version
of events, I would suggest that your evidence would have to come
across as particularly unconvincing for the bench to find beyond
any reasonable doubt that you did not enter from the BOAT.
