5 gates (I think) on T can handle a widebody. I think there's around 6-7 on A that can, but with T being in a much more compact area, it makes sense to make T an overflow int'l departures concourse, especially since the T lounge is pretty quiet for BE passengers (it used to be the either the IFL or Business lounge before E opened up) as well as adding a duty free area in there.
