How BA461 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for BA461 across the MAD and LHR boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read — pattern not clear yet. Only 3 completed legs so far: left heavily delayed (~49 min) but landed about 6 min early. Not enough to call it.

The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how BA461 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
