"BRS seriously needs some class A out to the east" - class A what exactly, drugs? New airspace is on it's way, we're flying it in in the not too distant future, but you'll have to make do with class D, you poor lamb, and if D isn't good enough, then you'll just have to keep on moaning.
As for the height over Bath, as I said, Colerne permitting, we want you at or close to 3000'. Maybe I should also have said "Sector 23 and Colerne permitting". S'not our fault if 23 keep you too high, moan at them not us.
prb46 - it doesn't matter which country you come from, if you're routing up as far west as through SAM or anywhere east of that, it's normal for you to be sent along L9 to CPT-ABD-BRI. That's what I meant by from the east. There is no airways routing from the south east to BRS which will keep you inside CAS. You could request to route SAM-ADSON-BRI, but you would have to mix it with the military during the day and into early evening. If that's your wish, good luck to you, but you'll have to request it from London.
