It seems to come up on a Friday late and down on a Sunday midday. So good for spending a week working in The City (which I never do).

Obviously the LHR flights are feeding the onward connection business.
I have never flown MAN-LHR just to go to London as the train is way more convenient for me.
Although I might be tempted if there was a Friday MAN-LCY early evening and a Sunday LCY-MAN early afternoon (the reverse of the current arrangement).
Since I work near MAN but don't live near there this would allow me to 'park and ride' and get conveniently to central London for a weekend break.
Not sure there are enough similar minded folk to make money from it though.
