The rumours have been doing the rounds for many years for the simple reason that LBA (and MME) have got to be the most vulnerable LHR destinations, period.
It really is only a matter of time before LBA especally goes.

I've always wondered about these flights. The train's 2.5 hours and gets you city centre to city centre, not from a godforsaken field in the middle of nowhere to a shopping mall far enough from the centre for the train fare to be higher than the cheapest ticket on the Leeds-London train!
Of course you can connect at LHR- but who would want to do that when you can fly via AMS to dozens if not hundreds of extra destinations?

MAN-LHR-FRA-MCO..but hurry before the MAN-LHR also goes, but why risk flying via LHR when you could have gone MAN-FRA-MCO..the slightest weather problems and MAN-LHR are the first to be delayed or cancelled.
