Mark Ilderton, ScotRail Service Delivery Director, said: "We're very pleased that the vast majority of services are now operating.
"Storm Amy was even more severe than forecast, with winds of up to 100 miles per hour in some parts of Scotland.
"This led to very challenging conditions for the rail network, and working with Network Rail, we took the responsible decision to withdraw train services in many parts of the country where weather conditions were most severe.
"We understand the effect this has on customers, but this was a necessary step to ensure the safety of passengers and staff, which is always our first priority."
He added that Network Rail Scotland staff worked relentlessly to carry out infrastructure checks and repairs to bring the railway back into operation.
Mark expressed gratitude towards customers for their patience during the clear-up operation.
He advised that the rail network is operational in most parts of the country.
The website, mobile app, and social media feeds will be updated regularly with the latest travel advice.
