How BA2656 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for BA2656 across the LGW and ALC boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read — pattern not clear yet. Only 2 completed legs so far: left noticeably late (~34 min) but landed about 12 min early. Not enough to call it.

The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how BA2656 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
