Is the wikipost of this thread not clear enough? Both LHR-SIN and SIN-SYD are said to be bedding-only routes as of 17 May 2018.

I am hearing on the 1st June we will be starting our new CW service to BOM, HYD, MAA and BLR, DEL to follow later.
This will be fun NOT as the service will be even more difficult to deliver but BA just keeps plowing on regardless.

Not expecting to darken the doors of a CW cabin until later this year (JFK) I would be interested to know if the original menu is still being rotated every 3 months as annoyingly I managed to have Sept/Dec/Mar so far and have now got another Dec lined up 
AA are taking up the slack in Sept !

LHR-YYZ yesterday. Still no bedding - but the catering was up to the new standard, although they failed to load both options for the tea service - just the tapas option. Had a chat with the CSM about the service and speed and he said he's taking decision to speed up service. Such as (for example) not trolley running the desserts.
But they did a good job - from initial orders to trays being removed was around 2 hours. Far better than the 3->3:30 I've seen before, and there was little loss of experience.

With these destinations, does this complete the bedding roll-out for the entire LHR long-haul network? I may be missing a few, but it appears to be getting close...

no new bedding ex-SIN on BA16 on Friday 25th - guess my friend missed it by a day as that aircraft would have left London on the 23rd. He loved the service out to JFK though on his second leg
