Lincoln railway station

Lincoln railway station (previously Lincoln Central) serves the city of Lincoln, England. The station is owned by Network Rail and managed by East Midlands Railway, who provide the majority of services from the station, with other services being provided by Northern and London North Eastern Railway. It is the busiest station in Lincolnshire, and the fifth busiest station in the East Midlands.

The station is part of the PlusBus scheme, where train and bus tickets can be bought together at a saving. Lincoln Central bus station, the city's main bus station, is within a couple of minutes' walk from the railway station and is located to the north-east of the station and easily accessed via a pedestrian crossing and pedestrianised plaza.

The station buildings were designed by John Henry Taylor of London in 1848, for the Great Northern Railway company. It is built in a Tudor revival style of yellow brick, with stone dressings and slate roofs, with six ridge and eight side wall stacks. The buildings and footbridge were Grade II listed in 1990.

The station has been the only station in Lincoln since the closure of Lincoln St. Marks in 1985. Despite this, the station retained its "Central" suffix until 2019. The station's "welcome" message, recorded by East Midlands Trains and still in use, refers to the station as Lincoln Central.

In late-2010, East Midlands Trains announced that it intended to develop an improved customer service area and improve the café and toilets.

The station has a total of five platforms, numbered 1-5:
