The first minister has apologised to rail passengers in parts of Scotland after a broken-down train in Edinburgh caused severe disruption. Nicola Sturgeon said the 'deeply regrettable' problem was caused by 'an extraordinary set of circumstances'. The early-morning breakdown between Waverley station and Haymarket affected services across the central belt. It also caused delays to trains travelling to Inverness, Aberdeen and on the Borders Railway. Speaking at First Minister's Questions, Ms Sturgeon told the chamber: 'I am sorry for the disruption that was caused this morning and also sorry for any disruption that any passenger faces on any day of the week, that is ScotRail's position and it is also mine.'
