EGGW OLNEY 1B - Question for ATC types
Greetings.
It had been a while since I was in EGGW and my partner in crime and I have a question for the ATC types here.
We were assigned the OLNEY 1B. Briefed it. Took off. Just about to join the Bovingdon 345 degree radial, we received a clearance to "climb to FL70". As we discussed wether or not the ensuing alttitude restrictions still applied, we were given a heading. Since we were given the heading the altitude restrictions no longer applied. However, I am still curious. In the US, the clearance to climb to 7000 (FL70) would have negated the altitude restrictions on the SID. Does this hold true in the UK, or is there verbiage to indicate we would be free of (or held to) restrictions.
Thakn you in advance!
John
