Rail bosses have finally emerged victorious from a battle with an engineer set on derailing the Ordsall Chord.
A last-ditch attempt to stop the £85m link being built between Piccadilly and Victoria stations has been defeated in the courts.
Work has already started on the major scheme, which Network Rail says will speed up travel times and increase capacity.
However the legal row has set the completion date back from December 2016 to the end of 2017.
