RMT members had been due to stage 24-hour walkouts next week in their bitter dispute with Network Rail.
Commuters face a Monday of misery as rail disruption is set to drag into next week despite a union calling off its planned strike.
Liam Sumpter, route director at Network Rail Scotland, said: "While it is positive news that the RMT has called off these strikes, the very late notice means that it is not possible to reintroduce a full timetable on Saturday and Monday. We are working hard alongside ScotRail and our other operators to reintroduce services as quickly as possible for customers."
David Simpson, ScotRail's service delivery director, said he welcomed the announcement the RMT had called off their strike. "Strike action does nothing for the railway's recovery or reputation at this fragile time. It impacts customers, staff, and the economy," he said. Mick Lynch, the union's general secretary, said: "The threat of strike action and our strongly supported industrial campaign has made the rail employers see sense. We have always wanted to secure a negotiated settlement and that is what we will continue to push for in this next phase of intensive talks.
