Brake temps and breakaway thrust can be an occasional issue, but it’s rare. I don’t like the impatient; “tell him we’re approaching the hold” or “tell him the stop bar is still on”. Patience is a virtue.
ATC are doing lots of things at once, and they know where you are going to stop. When they get a second from making phone calls and watching other traffic, they will get to us.
There will always be a reason that you are told to hold anywhere - if there wasn’t, you wouldn’t be told to hold !!
