/48 is what NNW asked JANET for us (although I don't think we actually
need it). In any case JANET bounced us back to the University which was
given a /48 for the whole campus and now I'm discussing with them how to
proceed. They have the same problem as QMUL and apparently Oxford had,
/48 is too small for the whole Uni and they need to renegotiate either
with JANET like Oxford has done, or like QMUL with RIPE.
