They advised waiting a few days post the bank holiday and keeping an eye on the statement and call back if it’s then not resolved. No sign of it coming back yet!
Though this is clearly good advice, it is also clear that BA’s systems are so poor that they cannot recognise a double payment when it stares them in the face!
