I see your point but by whom? Spadeadam, Newcastle and perhaps Southend seem to me to be the only possibles, and since everyone was supposedly on track for EGNC to provide the appropriate ATCOs on-site until only a month ago, it's not credible that they have a plan to get CAA approval for a remote APP operation at such short notice (or at all?).
