Home and Away reveals first look at explosive 2026 stories after devastating train crash ||

 Lives are hanging in the balance in the soap's huge cliffhanger.

Domestic and Absent has given watchers a taste of what's to come as it prodded the storylines for following year, counting the consequence of a terrible prepare crash.

As the arrangement is presently on its summer break Down Beneath, it will return in January with a few jaw-dropping turns taking after the crash's cliffhanger.

Last night's movie-length finale saw more than 1.4 million viewers tune in across both TV and streaming (via TV Blackbox) as multiple lives are hanging in the balance.

A new promo hinted at rescue operations being in full swing to save those trapped in the wreckage, as those involved in the crash includes Justin Morgan, Mackenzie Booth, Remi Carter and Abigail Fowler.

When the soap returns to Aussie screens on 19 January, every second will be crucial.

The clip sees Levi Fowler butting heads with Cash Newman to access the derailed train so he can help Abigail and Mack.

Also at the scene are Sergeant David Langham and Tane Parata, as the latter defies police orders and heads into the tunnel to rescue his loved ones, but who will make it back to Summer Bay?

The trailer also anticipates the return of two fan-favourite characters for more scenes taking place in Western Australia.

Couple Darryl "Brax" Braxton and Ricky Sharpe will be back in 2026, with their "ambitious, high-stakes" storyline moving the action away from the Bay and across Perth, the coastline and the Outback.
