Until T5C you mean, T5B is the satellite that opens with the main T5A building.
aristoph is correct. All the non-openskies 757s will be based at T3 because they are the only type that cannot take containerised luggage. By the time T5C opens they should all have been replaced by Airbuses.
Why LIS and NCE in particular were chosen I'm not sure. Presumably they make optimum use of the 757.
This does indeed mean that 321s will replace 757s on domestics.
