Since its 100BC iron-age settlement, Lincoln has played a full role in English history. Standing proudly above the fens, it was the capital of the Roman Province covering most of eastern England.
Lincoln’s cathedral was founded in 1072 by William the Conqueror. Today the world-famous cathedral and castle are at the centre of a vivacious city where the historic Bailgate, recently regenerated Waterside and St Marks areas provide plenty of diversity for shoppers and sightseers.
On 7 December our train is timed to coincide with Lincoln’s now traditional Christmas Market. Held in the cobbled streets below the cathedral, this magical market offers a truly astounding range of Christmas gifts. Roasted chestnuts, mince pies and particularly potent hot mulled wine along with carol singers, a street theatre and stall holders in Victorian dress make the Lincoln Christmas market a spectacle not to be missed.

Just a short note to thank you for a great day out on "The Norfolkman" from London Liverpool Street to Norwich and back on 9th September 2008. - A great day out and a great train. - I am no "Steam Buff" but it seems to me that "Oliver Cromwell" 70013 is quite an engine! Most of all a big thank you to your staff who looked after me and my 83 year-old father in carriage B (seats 7 R & F) - your kindness and attentiveness could not have been better and made the day for us. For anyone looking for a day out I thoroughly recommend you and your "Premier Dining" Service in particular.Best Regards,NS
