I guess just to follow on here, I think you are right a bus gate is very likely for LHR even though there are those three that would work as widebody biometric gates.
However, what about DUB? None of the usual 200 gates would work. I think a 777 could fit on some of the 300 gates (BA used to use these 300 gates years ago as well), but I am guessing probably bus at DUB?
I am interested as I am doing a b2b - what could possibly go wrong?

Widebody aircraft on shorthaul routes
Will BA ever reintroduce 788 on European routes i flew on this plane to ARN last year on BA780 and have also seen it fly to MAD in the past but I currently am only seeing single aisle being used to Europe.

There’s lots of threads on this already which I’m sure others will link to but essentially your best bet is select flights to HEL on AY or select flights to MAD on IB.

They will if there is cargo demand. By nature this tends to mean it pops up last(ish) minute.

They are sending the 787 and 777 to FRA throughout April on most days. Unlike usual, these were added more than just a couple of weeks in advance. But no there is nothing which is regularly scheduled like MAD used to be.
