LHR will most likely see 77W or A350 service in the long run, but probably from only SFO. Remember, 767's are receiving Polaris seating, and LHR is mostly served by 767's. And all UA business class is being rebranded as Polaris, so Polaris lounge does not mean new Polaris seat.
This EWR-LHR is for intl familiarization for about 5 weeks before being placed on EWR-BOM & EWR-HKG routes.
