Re TPs, sat next to a DEP Controller in SYD many moons ago to watch and was surprised by his comment that TPs didn't slow the ARR / DEP rates.
except in low vis ops when you can’t see the runway it’s the PIC’s responsibility to ensure the runway is clear. If it doesn’t look like you have the required separation you would go around and not rely on ATC regardless of which country you’re flying in.
