What makes you think it's the same plane? The plane coming back could be headed off to another destination and the next plane out could be coming from somewhere else.
But also, aren't they limited by slots at LHR? Not much point in hurrying back if you don't have any more slots for to use the equipment on that day. And a lot of the flights could be slot parking flights in the first place.
