Train companies said journeys should only be attempted if "absolutely necessary" between next Tuesday and Sunday as two 48-hour walkouts by the RMT union will bring much of the network to a standstill and leave only about 20 per cent of trains running.
Problems will continue in the week before Christmas as an RMT overtime ban between December 18 and January 2 will mean "reduced services and busier trains", according to Network Rail.
About one in five trains will be axed.
It issued a calendar detailing what services are expected to run in the coming weeks, with strike days marked in red with an "only travel if absolutely necessary" message.
Days with a reduced service are marked in amber, while this Monday will be the last "green" normal service day until January 9.
There will also be disruption on the Tube and London Overground due to engineering work from December 17-23, with no Bakerloo line service between Queen's Park and Harrow & Wealdstone and no Overground between Euston and Watford Junction.
