Sure that they will axe LBA? While I see the point as far as MME and JER are concerned, I always thought that LBA was doing much better.
The reason why I am asking is that LH will switch the LH/BD code-shared LHR-CGN service from a 737-500 to a Avro RJ85 according to the timetable - and this would allow shifting the flight to LCY if needed. There are, however, other explanations for the equipment change such as Boeing 737-500s leaving the fleet and/or a decrease in demand (Lufthansa has used everything from CRJ, CR7, AR8 to B737s on the route in the past couple of years).
