I think it's simply down to the outbound 213 flight being cancelled. So for the same reason that flight was cancelled.

Two or three cancellations, one I am not sure about:
BA213 BOS
BA354 NCE
BA9157 GRU
The last one isn't a regular flight number so there's something more to that. This gives 339 BA departures today from LHR. Timekeeping is so-so again. The afternoon ATC report is:
Landing RWY: 27L
Airborne holding (mins): 6
Departure RWY: 27R
TSAT delay average (mins): 0
Network: 28 Regulations across Europe. LIRN (Naples) Arrivals regulated throughout the day due to ATC Equipment (ongoing RADAR maintenance) - High delays.
LPPT (Lisbon) Arrivals regulated due to Aerodrome capacity - Moderate delays.
Weather :. A brighter afternoon, with increasing higher cloud in the evening.

BA213 - no code allocated but due to A350 serviceability. TECY by deduction.
BA354 - TECY
BA9157 - this is due to the double night stop of BA246 of the 16th which has been stuck in GRU with multiple tech issues. Hoping to get itself back to departing GRU in a few hours time as BA246D.
EDIT: XWBJ on its way to GRU as BA9155P to act as a recovery.

Tuesday 19th March
Canx list as follows;
BA181 EWR - DAMN. The cause is yet another accidentally blown slide on G-YMMT in NAS which has caused a seat reduction of 52 occupants. Should really be DAMY, so armed with this info proceed via CEDR after 8 weeks or “our decision will not change” from BA.
BA790 GOT - TECY
BA856 PRG - TECY
BA780 ARN - DAMY
BA392 BRU - DAMY
ATC update
Morning Operational update
07:51 19 Mar
Landing RWY: 27L
Airborne holding (mins): 45 mins peak
Departure RWY: 27R
TSAT delay average (mins): 0
Network: EGLLTC 43/60 0630-1100 due weather
Inbound emergency traffic landing 27L ETA 0836 will block the RWY briefly due nosewheel steering issue.
Routine RWY insp will be carried out at the same time.

It has been cancelled due to mechanical issues. Still seats available on both later services.

Wednesday 19 March - extra
An on the day cancel here:
BA191 AUS
This was due out at 12:10, and the passengers probably felt lucky since the A35K aircraft (G-XWBN?) was due out of gate A18, but it was cancelled at 16:00 or thereabouts. I don't know the reason but that's usually technical.

Saturday 2nd of March
Not the most punctual day today outbound from LHR, but a vast improvement on inbounds vs yesterday.
1 BA cancellation so far ex LHR.
BA 283 - DAMN - Engine 2 cowl damage on G-STBJ.
Oh note today is BA’s baggage performance which is woefully below HAL SLAs - just 19% within the SLA vs 50% yesterday.

I actually submitted a claim for this and had a response back that it was out of their control. Is there much history of anyone having success arguing the case with BA on these? Or one to take on the chin?

To proceed to CEDR you need to get a "final response" email from BA or to wait until 8 weeks after you submitted your claim.
