BA1 says a fuel stop, no assistance required, just check with maintenance about some things.

British Airways A318 G-EUNB BA1 St Johns Technical Diversion.
February 12, 2017
British Airways A318 G-EUNB operating the Shannon – New York JFK sector of BA1 London City – Shannon – New York JFK diverted via St Johns, Newfoundland this afternoon due to a technical issue. The aircraft was able to continue after 90 minutes on the ground.

Anybody know what the issue was? I've made a crossing or two, can't think of a situation where I would hold for 90 minutes and then proceed across. The only similar case I can remember was holding for an overflight clearance number for the subcontinent decades ago.
G-EUNB was ferried empty JFK-LHR today according to BA Source.
