Wiggy the BA FBW fleet training video for an RTO with an evacuation shows the aircraft being stopped and then the nose moved through the tiller to mitigate the effects of wind.
Thanks, I'll check that out.

As I recall the Manchester report whilst there was mention of the ( detrimental) effect of crosswind there was also mention that the amount of time lost whilst the crew continued to a runway exit may also have had serious consequences. I think it would be very brave to stop and then move again just to get the fire more downwind but that's just MVHO and it's each to their own trainset...hopefully neither of us will have to put it to a practical test...
