There is a difference between having Mode S data visible and the Centre system being able to use that data to correlate the flight plan and the radar track. UK controllers can see the Mode S data but the Mode A setting is what is used to associate the flight plan with the radar track and will be for some considerable time. You can't use the 1000 code if you still need the Mode A code to make that link.
