SIA will introduce a fourth daily flight between Singapore and London Heathrow from October, providing enhanced travel options to our customers.
SIA currently operates three flights per day between Singapore and London Heathrow, all with Airbus A380s. The additional flight, which will have a late-night departure from Singapore, will be operated with a Boeing 777-300ER, also featuring the Airline’s latest cabin products.
The increase in frequency will be carried out progressively, starting the week of 9 September when the number of flights per week will rise to 25 from 21. The full complement of 28 flights per week will take effect from the week of 21 October.
“We have been looking for opportunities to increase our London flights for many years and are pleased that we can now do so, to provide even more travel options to our customers,” said Executive Vice President Commercial Mak Swee Wah.
“Not only are London and Singapore popular destinations in their own right, the additional flights will allow for more convenient connections beyond London to other points in Europe, and beyond Singapore to other points within Asia and South West Pacific.”

Am not sure if I'm reading it correctly, is this saying that it could also be operated by a 388 instead of the 77W?

if this is true, it would be a very nice long stay for the 777 tech crew

And are the LHR flights often 90% full to justify the 4th daily flight?

And, where are they going to pull the 77W from? and with a long layover in LHR, at least 1 must be pulled from the current rotation even for this 4 weekly flights.
