LHR Messing with schedules

Looks as if the decline is now coming on the BA LHR route. I posted a while ago that the last inbound and outbound to/from LHR are cancelled in Nov and Dec, as well as midday daily reductions this month and last May.

Now in Jan its also down to 5 daily. During Jan after the 9.20am to LHR the next one is nearly 6 hrs later at 15.05.
Coming from LHR after the first 07.25 departure the next one is not until 12.45 over 5 hrs later.
Hardly a good schedule.
I suspect this will also happen from Feb onwards as BA slowly ammend the schedule.

This is despite recent growth on the route, a rare thing these days.

So if the pax nos are down, the route is cut or if the numbers are up the route is also cut!!.

Edit. seems the schedule varys in Jan/early Feb some days the midday service is missing, some days its the last flight ?.
