09L: Nope, doesn't help at all, but at least we know more now!!!
Of course, I know what you are saying; whenever we transit London airspace higher up (as we do when returning from Corsica, usually going DET-BPK) we are seldom bothered with vectors.
So does the lower-level congestion explain the often harrassed-sounding controllers then?
BTW could you let you colleagues know that we are getting sick of being slowed to 210 kts to acommodate the Dash 8 in front of us. Just vector the Dash out of the way and let us through!!
(Puts on asbestos underwear as the tempers of all Dash drivers go white-hot).
Oh, and another thing for the LCY folk here: when is the ground power on stand 3 going to be fixed...???
