any insights appreciated. To book a different flight to BHD, means a 6 hour stop in LHR, flying BA.
Sure you can stay airside and take the buses, but you won't have a connection. Moving between (and sometimes within) terminals at LHR is never the easiest exercise, and time is quickly eaten up. If you are late to board your next flight (ie because your Madrid inbound was 30 minutes late - not unusual at LHR), you may find yourself having to buy a new ticket to BHD.
