Extra direct trains between Lincoln and London start operating this weekend.

In September the LNER Azuma fleet introduced a two-hourly Monday to Friday service departing London at 10.06am, 12.06pm, 2.06pm and 4.06pm.

Southbound services depart Lincoln at 11.18am, 1.23pm, 3.26pm and 5.14pm.

In addition, it was also previously stated that the current 7.30am Lincoln to London, and return service from London at 7.06pm, will be replaced by an Azuma train later in the year.

Lincoln will now see five extra services on a Sunday.
