UL18 Southbound during office hours

Tracked an Air France Super-Jumbo southbound on UL18 this afternoon.
It received a generous concession to fly, virtually, from FIR boundary to Seaford-Dieppe.
Are we to expect slightly more 'exotic' routings with the advent of the A380?

Thanx for the'vector' HD but on balance they do seem to be routed in a more 'direct' way.
Coming across the channel, for example, they will invariably be vectored towards Compton half way across and then I've seen them track 'up' UP2 which is normally eastbound only.
BTW, traffic wasn't exactly light yesterday afternoon in the Strumble/Brecon/Bristol sectors either.
