LCY traffic

I'm just curious now and wondered if anyone out there can answer this.

BA obvioulsy do Heathrow to Edinburgh and Paris, but now double up by offering London City (ignoring Gatwick for a mo).

I'm just wondering if most of their traffic somes from the trains/existing services, or whether they actually steal pax from their own flights to Heathrow? I know a lot of passengers will be connecting, but I'm just thinking of the local traffic now.


Likewise, when VLM started LCYMAN did they take their traffic from the trains, or did they manage to steal a large proportion of the local stuff from BA and bmi?

Just curious really if London is one market, or whether each airport really does have its own catchment, and LHR doesn't penetrate the LCY catchment for exampl (like City of London or City of Westminster...)
