Busy-time intelligence

October: no dedicated climatology window — using harbour baseline. HIGH summer and event weeks on the Thames A City Airport transfer does not help if you miss the lock. This is an estimate derived from declared inventory and seasonal demand, not a live sensor count or a passenger-style headcount.
