The line is run by First TransPennine Express and has 3 stations. There are regular routes to Hull, York, Leeds, and Manchester with the new fast trains to London. You can buy your tickets at the station and there are waiting room and a small warm café.

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.

If visiting Whitby or the area..take a trip on a steam train and visit here…read more A station people recognise without often knowing why. Goathland railway station is a typical countryside station, almost unchanged since its construction in 1865. The station has been restored to represent an NER country station post World War 1 circa 1922. The station is popular with tourists due to its appearances in Yorkshire TV's Heartbeat and the first of the Harry Potter films. The station has a newly refurbished Tea Room which is inside a Goods Warehouse. The station also has a traditional camping coach, which is let for holidays. This station (originally known as Goathland Mill) is on the deviation line opened by the North Eastern Railway in 1865 to avoid the cable-worked Beck Hole Incline, which was part of the original 1836 Whitby and Pickering Railway route. Known as Aidensfield in Heartbeat and Hogsmeade railway station in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, this English village is a popular tourist destination.the line was filmed for Harry's journey. The engine used was originally GWR Hall Class 4-6-0 No.5972 Olton Hall. Built at Swindon in 1937, o.5972.Olton Hall was one of a class of 330 versatile mixed traffic locomotives, designed by Charles Collett for the Great Western Railway. No.5972 is now set to find new fame as the Hogwarts Express locomotive in the Warner Brothers' film of Harry Potter stories Renamed Hogwarts Castle and repainted into fictitious Hogwarts Railways bright red livery, No. 5972 appeared in the first session of filming at Goathland, on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway. The original Goathland station was located at the head of the incline, where there are still some Y&NM cottages, together with a single W&P one.The station buildings were to the design of the NER's architect Thomas Prosser and were very similar to those being built concurrently (by the same contractor, Thomas Nelson) on the Castleton to Grosmont line. The collection of buildings is very little altered since they were built - the last recorded change (apart from NYMR restoration) being in 1908. Goathland village is perhaps much better known as Aidensfield in Yorkshire TV's Heartbeat than its real name.

The noise, the smells took me back 60 years. The Pullman carriages tables were laid beautifully. Arriving at our carriage we were greeted by the young lady who guided us to our table. Having removed a dirty napkin from my seat we sat down. Drinks were ordered from a very pleasant young man which arrived promptly. Sitting back, the train began its journey to Pickering. The smoke billowing across the countryside. Other than the silver service by the young attendants, which was exemplary, the positives stop here. The food was the worst that I have eaten, even in lesser carveries around the country. Stodgy vegetables, inedible roast potatoes. I won't go on. I don't need to. I realise that the NYMR is a charitable concern but even charities need to give 'value for money'. Yes I would return for the train experience but would totally avoid their Pullman Experience.
