ScotRail said that passengers will still face disruption as RMT members return to work on Sunday, with some services starting later than usual.
Rail passengers have been warned to expect "significant disruption" as services restart following 48 hours of strike action by rail workers.
The dispute does not involve ScotRail staff, but has been having a major impact on the train operator's ability to provide services as the RMT industrial action involves Network Rail staff in Scotland. Network Rail Scotland said: "Unfortunately, Sunday will also see disruption. He said: "It's better we are talking than not, so the rail minister convened a meeting on Thursday with the RMT representatives along Network Rail and the train operators. We exchanged some ideas and some possibilities, there was no negotiations at that, nothing arising tangible out of that.
Andrew Haines, Network Rail chief executive, said the RMT has "deliberately chosen to try and ruin Christmas for millions of passengers and businesses".
