Blumie may think I made a ridiculous statement however my last three trips thru LHR prove otherwise and one was only 1 month ago...( on two trips luggage lost completely and one trip delayed by two days.) all had more than two hour layover.. Unfortunately we had to have luggage checked. I am not so sure that the situation has improved that much... Any way you can avoid LHR is the way to go.

op stated 1 hour 15 min at lhr... what are your odds on that.

The transfer at LHR is essentially a dometic transfer (T5 to T5). Most airlines around the world will get that right most of the time, even BA at LHR. Also, although the OP insists s/he has a 1:15 connection at LHR, the schedule for his/her travel date shows a 2:10 connection time; I'm not at all sure why the OP continues to insist that the transfer time is 1:15.

Bottom line is we all have given you our best advice. Take it for what it's worth. Or continue to worry for the next five months. Your choice.

You said that in your other thread; yet another reason not to start two different threads for the same trip. But don't you think airlines are aware of daylight savings time when they set their schedules? And since daylight savings time only results in a one-hour adjustment, how would that explain a 1:05 time difference?
