Why 6 planes parked on runway?

Anyone know why there would be six planes parked at the end of this runway at the Edinburgh Airport?

The rest of the airport seems busy.

The runway 12/30 is only an emergency runway. It can take airplanes up to a B767. I think it is normally at this airport that there are parking airplanes. Look at this:

Use of runways:
1. Runway 12/30 is not available when the IRVR is less than 1200 m.

2. Runway 12/30 will not be available when aircraft are parked on Block 30. Runway 12/30 is a visual runway only.

3. To avoid damage to the surface of Runway 06/24 aircraft above B737-400 size are not permitted to turn within the runway width. The turning areas at the runway ends must be used.

4. Between 2100 and 0630 hours local time Monday - Friday and 1800-0900 at Saturday night and 1800 to 0630 Sunday night runway 12/30 will not be available unless:

a) Runway 06/24 is not available due to work in progress

b) surface wind conditions dictate that Runway 12/30 must be used

Runway 12/30 will at times be available to aircraft in an emergency except if aircraft parked on the overspill apron on 33 cannot be moved.

Have nothing found about the B-757, which can see in your post.
