As the opener of this particular can of worms I should apologise for the 300ft issue-it should read 3000 ft just a typo.

The trial definitely ended earlier than the revised date as various A320s bound for Midhurst started to appear over Camberley after November 1, and some of the late night heavies once again appeared well north of the trial track.

The issue will go on though because of the inept way HAL handled it especially coming up with tracks that meant all MID and SAM tracks went over Ascot, This will mean that less people will be inclined to support a third runway at LHR which is a shame because LHR is vital to the economy in the M3/M4 region.

On the other side of the coin there are still idiots complaining about 'streams of aircraft going overhead at Midnight' which of course just doesn't happen

And finally, I am right in reading that 'point merge ' will not be used at LHR and so arrival patters will stay much the same?

The statement re point merge quoted in post #57 was from the CAA ERCD, and was purely in the context of their modelling of the proposed LHR NW runway scheme - I don't know if applies to other scenarios.
