RAFAT,
Following on a little from what Expedite had to say, I would like to point out that NORRY - WCO - HON at FL170 is not always the easiest routing to accomodate. FL170 is a commonly used level in the CPT area for traffic routing eastbound off G1 to either BPK or DVR, and then as you turn towards HON you're head on to all the traffic heading southbound into the London TMA and everything climbing out of Birmingham and East Midlands heading for COWLY and CPT. Whereas if you're routing via HEMEL - WELIN you'll fit nicely into the northbound flow that routes up that side if the 'airway'.
I see from your post that you made your request on a sunday afternoon and at weekends that routing shouldn't cause too many problems. During the week however it would be much more difficult.
If you or any of your collegues are ever in the vicinity of West Drayton please pop in and plug in on the TC Midlands sector. Fam flights and liason visits are the best way of promoting a better understanding of the problems faced by both controllers and pilots alike, and it's a shame that official fam. flights are now virtually non-existent
Hope to see you around someday,
Slippers.
