After a particularly protracted effort to reach one of the Victor stands at T4 LHR this evening I was wondering.........
We had to wait for two aircraft to leave the cul-de-sac before we could enter. Both heavies which then waited in Block 118 for crossing a rather busy 27L. The aircraft had to wait a fair time for a sufficient gap, and being held in 118 meant that they blocked any access into the victors. Why use this crossing point? Why not send aircraft down to cross at the 27L threshold whch would leave access to victors free?
I am sure there is a very obvious reason..........!
