Most trains will run tomorrow as normal, but planned engineering works, strike timetables and weather changes can affect particular routes. The list below shows every planned disruption National Rail has published that starts or runs during tomorrow (UK time), and the strike check under it tells you whether a national rail strike is confirmed for tomorrow. Strike timetables are often added only a few days ahead, so an empty list the night before is a good sign but not a guarantee: check your own train on the day.
Are trains running tomorrow?
This is National Rail’s planned disruption that overlaps tomorrow, one line per notice, with the operator, the routes affected, the times and a link to the full National Rail notice.
No confirmed disruption data right now. Check National Rail Enquiries for the latest.
The list only includes planned changes. Faults, signalling problems and other unplanned disruption can’t be forecast, so they appear on our live disruption page on the day.
Is there a train strike tomorrow?
No national rail strike is confirmed for today (Sunday 25 October 2026) or tomorrow.
The answer above comes from our table of strike dates, which the Journey Radar team keeps up to date from train company, union and TfL announcements. Unions must give notice before a strike, so dates are usually public in advance. The reduced strike-day timetable often arrives later: train companies tend to load it into journey planners only a few days before, so a journey planner can still show a full service for a strike day until then. See all confirmed train strike dates, and for London see Tube strikes.
Are there engineering works and replacement buses tomorrow?
Engineering works show up in the list above with the label “Engineering works (planned)”. Where trains are replaced, National Rail notes that a different timetable applies and journeys can take longer, and its notice for each set of works says where the buses go from. Replacement buses often leave from a bus stop or meeting point near the station rather than the station itself, so find it before you set off.
Our engineering works page lists this weekend’s and the next four weeks’ works by operator, with a full guide to replacement buses: tickets, luggage, bikes, pushchairs and accessibility.
What do train companies do when bad weather is forecast?
There is no single national rule. Each train company decides route by route, and it can mean a reduced or amended timetable on some routes, or no trains on a line until it’s safe. If a company publishes an amended timetable because of forecast bad weather, the National Rail Conditions of Travel (condition 32.1) say any Delay Repay claim is measured against that amended timetable, not the normal one.
If the weather means your train is cancelled, delayed or rescheduled, you keep your right to a full refund. Watch for weather notices on the National Rail disruption page the evening before and again in the morning.
Can I change or refund tomorrow’s ticket?
It depends on whether the railway has changed your train or you have changed your plans.
| What’s happened | What the National Rail Conditions of Travel allow |
|---|---|
| Tomorrow’s train is cancelled, delayed or rescheduled | Full refund, no admin fee, from the retailer you bought from (condition 30.1) |
| Your train is likely to be over 60 minutes late | Use the ticket on a later date with comparable restrictions (condition 28.4) |
| Your train is cancelled and you still want to go | Normally one of the two trains before or after, same operator (condition 28.3) |
| The train is running and you no longer want to go | Unless your ticket’s terms say otherwise, refund only if you ask by 23:59 the day before the ticket is valid, admin fee up to £5 (conditions 29.1 and 29.2) |
For tomorrow’s tickets the last row means acting tonight: once a ticket becomes valid, a refund for a journey you chose not to make is considered only in exceptional circumstances. For a refund because of disruption, write to the train company within 28 days of the day you meant to travel.
If you travel tomorrow and arrive late, that’s Delay Repay, not a refund.
Frequently asked questions
When are strike timetables published?
Unions have to give notice before a strike, so the dates are usually known well ahead, but train companies often load the reduced strike-day timetable into journey planners only a few days before. Until then a journey planner can show trains that won't run, so check again the evening before.
Can I get my money back on tomorrow's ticket if I decide not to travel?
If tomorrow's train has been cancelled, delayed or rescheduled, condition 30.1 of the National Rail Conditions of Travel gives you a full refund with no admin fee from the retailer you bought from. If the train is running and you simply change your mind, condition 29.1 says you must ask for a refund by 23:59 the day before the ticket becomes valid, unless your ticket's own terms say otherwise, and an admin fee of up to £5 may apply.
Does engineering work tomorrow mean I can claim Delay Repay?
Not usually for the planned extra time. Delay Repay is measured against the amended timetable published for the works, so you can claim only if you arrive late compared with that amended timetable.
Will trains run tomorrow if there's a weather warning?
Train companies decide route by route. They may run a reduced timetable, slow trains down or close lines. If a replacement timetable is published for forecast bad weather, compensation is measured against it, and if your train is cancelled or rescheduled you can get a full refund instead.
Why is tomorrow's list empty?
Either National Rail has no planned disruption starting or running tomorrow, or it hasn't been published yet. Engineering works are normally listed weeks ahead, but strike timetables and weather changes are often added late, so check again before you travel.
How often does this page update?
The planned-disruption list updates automatically from National Rail data every few minutes. Strike dates are added by the Journey Radar team from operator, union and TfL announcements, each with a link to the source.
