More Lincoln-London trains announced

London North Eastern Railway (LNER) has announced four new Azuma direct services will be introduced between Lincoln and London King’s Cross from October.

The midweek Azuma services will be the first wave of new LNER trains between the two cities, adding to the current direct service.

From Monday 21st October, direct services between Lincoln and London King’s Cross will be:

Departing Lincoln: 07:30, 11:18 (Azuma), 13:23 (Azuma), 15:26 (Azuma), 17:14 (Azuma)

Departing London: 10:06 (Azuma), 12:06 (Azuma), 14:06 (Azuma), 16:06 (Azuma), 19:06.

The current 07:30 Lincoln to London and return service from London at 19:06 will be replaced by an Azuma train later in the year as the transformation of LNER services on the route continues.

Charlotte Goy, director of PR and Marketing at Visit Lincoln said: “The significantly improved rail service between London and Lincoln is transformational and marks a new chapter for opportunity and growth.

“The addition of four new direct connections to the capital of the UK is an exciting opportunity, and Visit Lincoln will continue its work with LNER to make sure the new timetable is a success.”
