It will be the biggest strike that the drivers have taken part in so far.

The Rail Delivery Group, which represents train operators, has previously said it wants to give its workers a pay rise but added "to fund it unions must recognise that as an industry that has lost 20% of its revenue, we can either adapt or decline".

A Department for Transport spokesperson said: "For the ninth time this summer, union leaders are choosing self-defeating strike action over constructive talks, not only disrupting the lives of millions who rely on these services but jeopardising the future of the railways and their own members' livelihoods.

It involves more operators than their two previous large-scale stoppages in August and July, and will affect much of England.
