Runway ops after BA777 incident

Has runway 27L just been used for just take offs since the incident?

This may be a stupid question but which way would take offs be going? I have presumed the west away from the incident as i guess its too dangerous heading towards the wreckage. Has this reduced the length of 27L for take offs and has this affected size/weight of planes that can take off?

What if wind direction was from the east?


Can i also ask when you hear 'easterly' or 'westerly' , does it mean to the east/west or from the east/west?
