So any thoughts on mixed mode itself? I know they've been trialling it since last year but how exactly would LHR implement it - I've seen suggestions that it would use spare capacity on a runway when there's a disparity between landings and take offs so - for example - the early morning long haul rush into LHR would have landings on both runways as there are relatively few take offs at that time.
