I find the choice of this weekend to block the route from Heathrow to
central London particularly inconsiderate to passengers. I'm sure this is
one of the busier weekends at Heathrow with people on Christmas and New Year
breaks returning. There were a lot of people with luggage everywhere.

Whenever the news reports a "busy day" at Heathrow, the numbers they
quote are usually extremely close to the average. Because most flights
at Heathrow are full, and there's no slots for extra aircraft, there
isn't much of a daily fluctuation.

(From the airport's website, daily average 190k/busiest ever day 233k)
