answer is it doesn't - Leeds falls by the wayside as so many other UK destinations from LHR have done - I suspect NCL will be next t go after Leeds
Then this is clearly not the answer to effective hub capacity then is it? The UK's regional airports unable to access the UK's main hub. Only in Britain.....
There are only a handful of UK destinations left btw! GLA, EDI, NCL, MAN and recently the return of LBA. Five in all, it would barely make an impact if all UK connectivity was removed from LHR, the answer is not less frequency and bigger aircraft which would force flexible businessmen to use another London airport and damage LHR but more capacity.
We need to stop living in LA LA pretendy land and get the economic growth to pay the bills and debt our selfish and brain dead politicians allowed us all to vote for.

There is a slow realisation that the UK should not be held to ransom by a bunch of NIMBY's who own property and spend some time in West London.
