It was fixed in GLA, but i understand the problem had re-occurred during the flight to YYZ, the a/c came back from YYZ to MAN and was fixed in a hangar this morning.
FG, is on its way to CPT and should take tomorrow's CPT out 8 hours later than 15:25..... Unless the aircraft doesn't want to....

from Manchester Airport website
A GSM712 05 Feb 07:55 Cape Town Expected 5 Feb 22:30
I was checking the GLA - SFB routing usually taken on a Tuesday with the 763 via BFS, but see it is only operating Wednesday at the moment according to GSM's website, but the aircraft does not leave SFB till Thursday evening's to return is there a reason for this.

The Gsm 712 arrived this morning at 09:30, and will be taking Monday's pax out at 15:25, then arriving back in MAN tomorrow approx, 8 am.
SFB to GLA is to depart at 20:50 and arrive in SFB at 02:15, guessing thats a re-sche...then the a/c will be back on it normal sche...
Its been one hell of a weekend for FG...

Whats the deal with the LPL-JFK route then? The flight times have changed (again) on the website. For example...
Saturday 07 July 2007 GSM201 15:00 18:00
Sunday 08 July 2007 GSM201 12:30 15:30
Monday 09 July 2007 GSM201 15:00 18:00
Tuesday 10 July 2007 GSM201 12:30 15:30
Wednesday 11 July 2007 GSM201 12:30 15:30
Thursday 12 July 2007 GSM201 12:30 15:30
Friday 13 July 2007 GSM201 15:00 18:00
So, Tues, Thurs and Sun will be via NOC. The Wed flight which is direct takes just as long to reach the states... OR... does this mean that 4 of the weekly flights could be going via NOC? The other 3 flights now leave at 3pm (thanks for letting me know of the time change via email GSM ) but the flight takes just as much time as if they were stopping in Ireland.
Confused

.5 - Could it be stopping some where else? I had heard LPL-JFK was not selling very well and hence the drop into Knock! Could the other days be visiting some where else??

Going at some of the fares for the route I think what you heard is wrong.
Looking at the airlines other routes it looks like a flyGlobespan thing to stop enroute. You only have to look at Stansted to Toronto this summer with every flight having a stop, the Glasgow to Boston is the same as the LPL/JFK in having a stop in Knock on some days. Even some of its European routes are having stops.

dwlpl - Don't get your back up! No airline would double pick up because its their 'thing'! GSM do so to fill a/c, mind you the costs doing this must be high, on fuel alone!
LPL must be difficult to sell transatlantic with the choice avalable down the road at Manchester?

I checked a few random dates & BA Economy class dirct from MAN-JFK was cheaper than the Globespan equivalent (eco plus), by as much as £100 at times. Doesn't seem to be a bargain bucket operation. The web timetable doesn't give any indication that their flights are not non-stop (on any route). That's something I'd like to take into consideration before making a booking.

I don't think so. As far as I am aware the B767s are coming from ANZ and the B757s from ICE. I may be mistaken!
GSM seem to have at least tidied a bit of the timetable issue up. All direct service depart LPL at 1500 arriving at 1800 (7 hours). All services via Knock depart LPL at 1230 arriving at JFK at 1530 (also 7 hours!!).
The timings from Knock state a 1430 depature (sounds about right), but arrives into JFK at 1800!!
