Sorry KIL...must be a misunderstanding. I'm not expecting BMI-R to try MAN-NWI *again* - by all accounts they only managed a week or two last time (and Eastern seem to be doing ok with it).
KLM do pretty good business with 5 flights a day across the relatively short stretch of water to Schipol (which, when you include the expense of getting to/parking at LHR, is pretty competive with travelling from London).
BACX BHD-MAN is interesting, since BMI-R or FlyBe would be much more suited to that route. I could imagine an interesting scramble to fill the gap if BACX ever withdrew MAN from BHD (now their only route) between those two.
