It could be worse, since BA have given up gates in the T1 domestic (gate 8) pier to Little Red, they have now started bussing some BHD flights to aircraft parked at T1 international gates.
Needless to say they didn't allow any extra time for this, nor did they disconnect the jetbridge and provide stairs. Cue 10 mins squashed on a bus whilst they got stairs to the rear door.
Kudos to the Purser who offered an extremely helpful "I've no idea what's happening, I normally fly from T5". Marvelous.
