Good explaination of the rather ridiculous Talla sector split we have at the moment. The frequency of Talla North is shared with Deancross North (not high) so it is a case of fingers crossed that we don't need both sectors open at the same time. How they've got away with this half-arsed arrangement God only knows.

However, the MDIs you are talking about are applied because the Galloway sector, which handles the bulk of the outbound traffic, gets overloaded. Splitting the deancross sector would not normally make any difference. Galloway sector is, in effect, full between 0700 and 0730. It can handle 42 movements per hour but the morning rush can put most of these 42 movements in half an hour. Hence slowing the departure rate to spread 'em out a bit.

Splitting the Galloway sector needs to be looked at. Hopefully they will do it right this time
