Narrative:
Preferred routing into lhr. On flight ord-lhr, I was originally scheduled to fly track x-ray. En route, we were reassigned to track whiskey. Track west was as follows: dotty 5250N 5340N 5430N 5520N nibog. In order to determine the common routing into lhr from nibog, I went to the en route section of my atlantic chart. In the eastbound section, I found the following common routing: nibog UN551 tadex UN560 dub UB39 tolka. At the bottom of the page there is a note which reads, 'eastbound flts should plan to use ATC preferred rtes within united kingdom that are contained within the standard rtes document published on the ats clearance delivery-rom or on the commercial chart website.' since we are not issued the commercial chart clearance delivery-rom and I do not have access to the commercial chart website en route, I did not have access to the standard routing from tolka into lhr. This information used to be published in our commercial chart en route pages. In the future, how would you suggest that I obtain this information?
