Virgin Delays from manchester?

[Beth__WDW23/6/02]

For the past 4 days Virgin has arrived late and taken off late.
Anyone know the reason why?
VS076 was meant to arrive at 07:25 and is expected at 09:50am.
VS075 was meant to leave at 10:25am and isnt expected to leave till 12:20.
I know they use the same plane on both routes.But why such a delay?

Yes Im sad checking take off and arrival times

Sunday's weather meant a 6 hour delay for vs75 on Monday and there has been a knock on effect, it should be back to normal in a few days.
I'm presuming that the fact of the M56 being shut for hours on Sunday meant that flight crews were late arriving, probably delayed due to that rather than the actual weather conditions.
Are you sad enough to check www.ringwayreports.co.uk to see which actual planes are being used? (Like me )

I came across that site the other day...
Ahh Now I understand why they are delayed.
Glad I'm not the only one checking out these things.

I've been keeping a list of planes being used so I could see some kind of rotation pattern, but there isn't one!
I was hoping to predict which plane would be used on the 28th April when we fly out on VS75. Seems like Jersey girl is used the most often, maybe that's why a lot of the seatback IFE's don't work.

You're flying out the day after us! I would never have remembered the name of the plane we had last year off the top of my head- but it was jersey girl! I hate flying and try to look at random things when boarding to distract myself. Fingers crossed we all get on time flights

I have been doing the same
It does seem Barberella,and Jersey Girl are quite routinely used.
