I don’t know if the sign changed at the plane or at the terminal for picking up new passengers to take them from the terminal to a remote stand.

This is a new one for me and maybe BA are listening to us?

The bus was packed but not like usual or London Underground tube during rush hour.
That has been in operation for quite a while on short-haul flights I’ve taken where we arrived at a bus gate. The crew would signal to the driver when the Club had deplaned and the bus would head to the terminal (it isn’t a 100% guarantee, but I’ve had it enough times to note it was more than a one off occurrence). On long-haul flights I’ve only ever seen the flight number on the bus, suggesting they don’t bother display it as much given how premium heavy BA planes are anyway.

Would be nice if they adopted the Qatar First class bus type though - that would really demonstrate that feedback was being listened too!
