Singapore Airlines starts A380 services to London Heathrow

Today the first commercial Airbus A380 flight arrived at London Heathrow with Singapore Airlines starting a daily service between Heathrow and Singapore with the A380.
.
Meanwhile Reuters reports the next route to get the A380 is Singapore to Tokyo.
.
This brings the A380 destinations to three, with Sydney of course being the original. While in theory one could fly all the way from Sydney to London and back by A380, the truth is that the best connections with Singapore Airlines don't allow that. Singapore Airlines has three flights a day between Heathrow and Singapore, and the same between Singapore and Sydney, but only one flight on each route is by A380 (Singapore Airlines only has 3 of the planes at the moment).
Singapore Airline's schedule for the A380 to and from London Heathrow will settle down as follows:

From 30 March:
SIN-LHR Depart 11.30pm- arrive 5.55am
LHR-SIN Depart 11.55am- arrive 7.45am
.
The Sydney route schedule from 30 March (until summer time ends in April) is:
SIN-SYD Depart 8.35pm- arrive 6.55am
SYD-SIN Depart 9.05am- arrive 2.20pm
but check Singapore Airlines website for details
