Heathrow Arrival Info 128.075

Just a couple of "amateur" thoughts/suggestions from a non-aviator:

I am surprised that there is not more information, regarding the state of R/W 27L, other than ".....not available for landing". Is not the presence of the wreck and salvage cranes and activity, important information? I am thinking, for example, about the possibility of some sort of emergency which might cause a pilot to consider 27L as an emergency option for landing.

On a more general note, I am not impressed by the changes of voice, mid-sentence, in the ATIS recordings. I guess it saves a few minutes for the staff, but strikes me as not the best way unambiguously to communicate.

Comments, from those with relevant professional knowledge, would be of interest to me!

Well done to all at LHR for keeping the "show on the road" with some runway missing.
