Well said OAP. A remote tower operation for London City, or for any airport that operates at a high level of traffic is madness.
Yes for the highlands of Scotland, or remote areas of Scandinavia, deepest darkest Africa maybe, with 2 or 3 aircraft a day. But London City, as my daughter would say OMG.
Alas the finance department and contract managers are involved now, it's going to happen.
Only 84 pay slips to retirement, then it's holidays by cruise ships, airports and ATC could be dangerous places!!!
