After a late arriving aircraft delay, then a baggage offloading delay, we've pushed back from T3 gate 25, and now are stuck in the alleyway, because the tug is broken down and can't detach.
Thus blocking quite a number of gates.
Thats a new delay reason for me...

The delay codes are referenced to delays to brake release for departure and are not generally noted after departure has occured. There is a code of AMO 0033 due to multiple push back congestion, and a note that the aircraft was late on stand which will be due to a towing movement.
The times in utc for you to make note of for claims are the STD of 1345, brakes release for departure (ATD) 1418 and take off at 1516.
STA was 0030, landing times was 0100 and arrival time 0108.
