Transport Scotland said the latest delay was "disappointing" but had been caused by global issues "outwith the yard's control".

That defeat followed one in the Supreme Court, which meant the levers which could trigger independence seem largely outwith the first minister's hands.

The transport operator said it had taken the "difficult decision" to divert services away from Niddrie due to "circumstances outwith their control".

The judge told the court: “The legislation is not in accordance with law and the Northern Ireland Assembly acted outwith the margin of appreciation afforded to it in this field”.

"I've got incredibly thick skin, and I'm always happy to make a joke of myself but I think it did get a bit too much for me when it was outwith my control," she said.
