VS001/002 delay 18 July 2013 insights?

Good morning from Philadelphia. Just wondering if anyone has insight in why the VS001 is delayed leaving LHR today. Currently showing just under 5 hours delay. I'm booked on the return on VS002 from Newark later today.

Thanks in advance.

If its Tech and causes a 4 hour or more late arrival of the VS2 then make sure you claim your €600 under EU261.

VS at Newark just called me on my mobile and have got me a seat on VS010 from JFK if I can make it round there. Great to see them taking the lead on this y)

That is a good pro-active approach y)
