Taken against many other counties, LIncolnshire is poorly served by the passenger rail compnies. THe fact that traction such as class 142s and 153s abound on this route shows that. B Ut the big problem is east of Lincoln. Did you know that travel from LIncoln is almost impossible after 7pm at night? And on Sundays... forget it! The TOCs are supposed to make an effort to sell their services, but not in LIncolnshire it seems!
