• 3 East Midlands airport (EMA) in Castle Donington, Leicestershire.

By rail

4 Lincoln Central Station is served by direct trains from Leicester, Nottingham, Newark, Peterborough, Sheffield and Grimsby. There is also a rare direct service to Doncaster.

Connection to London they are mainly connected to the Newark North Gate station which is on the East Coast Main Line and has regular, high-speed trains to London King's Cross. There is one direct daily train to London King's Cross and one to London St Pancras (via Nottingham and Leicester). There are only a limited number of train connections from Lincoln on Sundays. Trains are mainly operated by East Midlands Trains, with the Sheffield route operated by Northern Rail and the direct London King's Cross train operated by the East Coast. Overall, rail journeys are quite punctual and sometimes a bit inconvenient. Services from Peterborough and Grimsby and some services from Nottingham and Sheffield to Lincoln may be only one trip and can be very crowded for at least part of the journey.

By car

Lincoln is located on the A46 between Newark, Nottinghamshire and Grimsby, Lincolnshire and the southern end of the A15. Lincoln is surrounded by smaller roads and Lincolnshire itself has no freeways. The central part of Lincoln is made up of a large number of one-way streets.

By bus

Communication

The easiest way to get around downtown Lincoln is on foot. The city is small and compact with services and attractions within a few minutes' walk of each other. You can walk from the easternmost tip of Lincoln to the westernmost tip at a very leisurely pace in about an hour.

Cars can be hired from two locations - Enterprise, located on Outer Circle Road, and Hertz, located behind the Holiday Inn Hotel (on Brayford Wharf). However, just moving around the city is inadvisable. Lincoln employs a complex one-way system that quickly confuses tourists (and even some locals).

The main High Street is just a minute's walk from the train and bus stations.

Public transport is as expected in a reasonably sized city. There are regular bus services; however, these are usually journeys from the south of Lincoln and North Hykeham north of Lincoln, rather than short hops in the center.

Mini taxis are widely available. Prices are charged in the zoning system and all companies are regulated by Lincoln City Council; unlicensed companies are advised to avoid - soliciting passengers for these taxis is illegal, and they often don't have insurance in the event of an accident.
