    Plenty of staff around to ask for help with you need it. Everything is sign posted clearlyread more

    Lincoln Central or The Great Northern as my grand parents used to call it is well located in the…read morecity centre. It was once one of two stations serving Lincoln and since 1985 when St.Marks, or The Midland station closed all rail services now use this station. Architecturally the building is quite impressive and has benefitted from some restoration and maintenance over the past few years. The travel centre was closed a couple of years ago and in 2014 the booking hall was expanded and modernised to compensate for this. Pity it was closed on my last visit due to staff illness! The buffet/shop is reasonable and accessible from both street and platform. There used to be 8 platforms which was reduced to 7 and now to 5 but this is quite adequate for the appalling train service level that Lincoln continues to have to put up with. Destinations from Lincoln have been reduced dramatically over the years and the long distance services that used to call have long since gone. London is directly accessible only in a morning when two services depart within minutes of each other. There are return journeys which also arrive with in minutes. The quicker more direct of these going to Kings Cross and the longer to St.Pancras via Nottingham Regular services go to Newark (NorthGate & Castle stations), Nottingham, Leicester, Sleaford, Gainsborough, Sheffield and Peterborough. Less regular trains go to Doncaster and Grimsby. Be warned that the timetable is totally irregular and trains can run anything from 40 to 80 minutes apart to the same destination. The Sheffield service does however, run to a regular timetable every hour. Another point to mention is that there are no set platforms for services, so trains to Sleaford for example can and do,depart from any one of the five platforms. Sunday services are almost none existent and nothing leaves before 11:05, and nothing arrives till after noon! Dreadful for a university city of almost 100,000 people with tourism as one of the main industries. Train companies please take note!! The station is fully accessible and platform entry is via ticket barriers. Tickets are available from the booking hall (should it be open) and from ticket machines. Staff are generally cheerful and helpful and when chatting to,some of them do seem quite embarrassed by the appalling level of train services from here, which are often of single carriage units with people having to stand for some considerable distance. One of the best things about arriving in Lincoln by train is the stunning views of the cathedral and castle you can get as you get near the city. If you're going to go to visit them use the shuttle bus as a long uphill walk is involved. Steep Hill is a road that truly justifies it's name. Outside the station is ample parking, a taxi rank and 2 minutes walk away is the bus station. PlusBus tickets are available with your rail ticket. Getting to Lincoln can be a bit off putting by train , but the city is well worth the effort.

    Worksop station is the major intermediate stop on the line between Sheffield, Retford and Lincoln,…read moreand the junction for trains on the 'Robin Hood' line to Nottingham. Opened in 1849 by the Sheffield & Lincolnshire Junction Railway, the station was provided with impressive and handsome stone buildings in the Jacobean Style. It became a junction in 1875 when the Midland Railway line from Mansfield opened, providing through services from Nottingham. This line closed in 1964, but was re-opened to Worksop in 1998. To-day, the attractive station buildings have survived intact and, although the station is not staffed all day, it appears very well maintained. Part of the original building on the south side is occupied by the Mallard pub (named after the famous world-record holding steam locomotive). The principal train service is the Sheffield-Lincoln service, which operates roughly hourly during week-days, with additional trains to Worksop in the peak hours. On Saturdays there are also occasional through services to Grimsby and Cleethorpes. Services on the line to Mansfield and Nottingham are also hourly. Both lines have a much reduced service on Sundays. The station has step-free access to both platforms (though access between them is via the road and level crossing - allow a good 5 minutes), and there are toilets and parking spaces, but no taxi rank or cycle storage. There are no refreshment facilities - but the adjacent pub provides some food, as well as excellent real-ales.

    Worksop Railway Station is a fairly attractive and nice station, and I've had much worse…read moreexperiences waiting for trains! Although its not staffed all day, the station is relatively clean and tidy, and looks well looked after. Tickets can be booked in the ticket office, and on one of the platforms is a small café where you can buy drinks, snacks, and newspapers, which can the time pass. The near-by Mallard pub could also provide another method of passing the time! A surprisingly good station for a town the size of Worksop!
