DXB single runway operations

Dubai is pretty much down to single runway operations when rwy 30 is in use. We all know only 30R is available for landings, but at the moment 30L is only available for propeller aircraft as far as takeoffs are concerned.
It’s on the ATIS, but you will not find this info in the NOTAMs (why not?).

Thumbs up to DXB ATC for doing a very good job under the circumstances, but some fellow pilots need to check the definition of "immediate take off".

Reducing to taxi speed midway between two high speed turn offs is not very smart.

Not wishing to offend anybody, but ATC are running things very tight, and we all need to help out to make it work.
