Scotland's train services from today are now under control of the Scottish Government.
Dutch firm Abellio's contract running ScotRail has been brought to an end early due to a number of failures.
All staff currently working for ScotRail have been transferred across to a new "arms-length" government firm.
ScotRail Trains Limited is now owned by the government and will be overseen by Scottish Rail Holdings Limited.
Abellio has been running services in Scotland since 2015, however its contract has been axed early due to criticisms over delays and performance levels.
Despite the changes today passengers won't see much difference when commuting across the country.
Here's all you need to know about the nationalisation:
Who will run ScotRail?
The Scottish Government ended the Dutch firm Abellio's contract early after huge criticism over cancellations and delays.
From today, April 1, the new company ScotRail Trains Limited will run services which will be overseen by Scottish Rail Holdings Ltd, which is a new public body controlled by the government.
Nothing will change in terms of the ScotRail name.
Are tickets bought before April 1 still valid?
Yes. All tickets purchased prior to nationalisation will be valid. That includes season passes and pre-purchased tickets.
Will trains look different?
The ScotRail logo will stay the same and not much will change in terms of the look of the trains. The only change will be the removal of Abellio signage.
Will timetables change?
No changes will be made to the timetables currently in place.
Will ticket prices change?
There are no planned changes to the pricing structure for the new public-owned body, however when announcing the changes Transport Minister Jenny Gilruth said services would be "affordable, sustainable and customer-focused".
