Apparently, it was the same yesterday when the FO operated a flight on the same route. Arrived at gate 20 minutes or so after landing. First on the bus at 08.05. Was met by a lovely lady from the JM ground team who said it was crazy how they were now expected to manage LHR arrivals; nobody could understand why they’d moved before the arrivals process was properly sorted. Waited for the bus to fill up snd then got to D803 (the domestic arrival door) 10 minutes later. Walked out of the terminal at 8.20, some 40 minutes after landing. What a complete farce!
There is some construction going on on one of the taxiways, which has extended the one way portion significantly. Waited 30 minutes the other day (after already being 30 minutes late due to ATC/Weather)
