I believe the phase out will start from early 2019 but don't know how long it will take. I expect the routes costing the most will be first to be replaced or maybe they will do LHR first, then LGW/MAN.
I asked about this on the foruma couple of weeks ago. Apparently LHR first and then LGW but it will take quite a while to replace them all.

Hope they leave the 747's at Manchester for a bit, seriously considering trying to get upstairs

The Manchester and LGW 747's are the same ones. You often see the LGW-MCO flight turn in to the MCO-MAN flight on return.
