Interesting. NATS would not entertain crossover on departure until traffic is stable and we haven't got the airspace available to achieve that; nor would the regulator here approve it.
Strangely, you have more stringent limits in low vis and that is seriously impacting your low vis arrival capacity. Did they give any reason for refusing you on the basis of our experience? We are ICAO compliant, at least as far as I am aware, and knowing our lot there is no way they would approve anything that isn't.
Must make low vis rather like watching paint dry!
