Train services mostly return to normal shortly after strikes end, but full recovery may take several hours to up to a day. For example, after a strike, there may be very limited or no early morning service initially, with trains gradually resuming normal schedules later in the morning, often by midday. Timetables and services can be altered temporarily to adjust for disruptions caused by strikes. In recent cases, such as NS train strikes in the Netherlands, normal service has resumed the day after or shortly after planned strikes were canceled, although passengers are advised to check travel planners for the latest updates due to possible delays and altered schedules. In London, after a five-day Tube strike ended early in the morning, Transport for London warned of possible delays as services gradually return to normal. Overall, trains typically are back to normal service either the day after a strike or within a few hours, depending on the region and scale of the disruption. Passengers should expect some initial delays and altered schedules before the full return to normal service.
