Rail workers will once again walk out on the job for 24 hours in a row over pay - threatening to plunge the UK into travel chaos.
National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers (RMT) has confirmed members from Network Rail and 14 train operating companies will strike on October 1.
The move will bring the railway to an effective standstill and comes after the union received no further offers from the rail industry to help come to a negotiated settlement.
