	As I recall, up until approx April last year there were two links
to London to tie into transAtlantic links from there, and the direct link
to NY was instituted to overcome severe congestion on these.  I was overseas
about the time the direct link came in, so I didn't see anything about what
happened then (if anything was posted -- I recall one posting about the
new link's being approved but nothing since); it may be that these slower
links were dropped entirely to cut costs.
