A British Airways Airbus A320-200, registration G-EUUD performing flight
BA-1455 from Edinburgh,SC to London Heathrow,EN (UK), landed on Heathrow's runway 27R and slowed to taxi speed. While attempting to turn off the runway via high speed turn off smoke could be seen from the left main tyres first, then from the right hand tyres, too, and the aircraft was brought to a stop within the runway edges, off the center line of the turn off. A number of subsequent approaches were instructed to go around.
A passenger reported the captain announced the nose wheel steering had stopped working. Emergency services were responding.
The aircraft remained on the ground in London for about 18 hours before returning to service.
