An arms-length Scottish government company will take over running the rail franchise from Abellio.
Passengers should not see any significant changes in services right away, but the Scottish government said it was a new beginning for the railways.
"This new beginning creates a real opportunity to deliver a railway which is for the nation, and fully focused on being run for the benefit of its users - customers, staff and stakeholders, as opposed to shareholders." With ferry operator CalMac still waiting for two new vessels, which are years late and overbudget, he said rail passengers should be worried that ScotRail would "turn out to be CalMac on wheels".
Transport Minister Jenny Gilruth said Scotland's railways should be in the hands of the people of Scotland.
