Lincoln Central railway station serves the city of Lincoln in Lincolnshire, England. The station is owned by Network Rail and managed by East Midlands Trains (EMT) train operating company. EMT provide services along with Northern and Virgin Trains East Coast.
Lincoln Central is now the only station in Lincoln since the closure of Lincoln St. Marks in 1985. However, it has retained its "Central" suffix, like Rotherham Central. The station building was designed in 1848 for the Great Northern Railway by J H Taylor, in a stone "Baronial" style.
The station is part of the PlusBus scheme, where train and bus tickets can be bought together at a saving. The main bus station in Lincoln is located on Tentercroft Street, to the railway station's immediate south.
In late 2010 East Midlands Trains announced that it intended to develop an improved customer service area and improve the café and toilets.
Lincoln Central is included in the Lincoln Transport Hub redevelopment scheme, with aims to improve connectivity between bus and rail services in Lincoln by the construction of a new bus station adjacent to the railway station, alongside improvements to the railway station itself, including a new pedestrianised plaza outside the main entrance on St Mary's Street. Construction of the Transport Hub commenced in August 2016 and is scheduled to be completed by December 2017.
