Back to original question - is there any legitimate concern about being delayed out of LHR due to traffic? is FRA just as bad? or are these airports pretty good about getting flights out on time (assuming normal weather)...?
FYI, all the other flight LHR-EWR are on 757's.

There is no issue with fuel diversions on this route as it is well within the 757-200's operational range.
