Both Lincoln's
train station
, on St Mary's Street, and its
bus station
, close by off Norman Street, are located "Down hill" in the city centre. From either, it's a steep, twenty-minute walk to the cathedral, which can also be reached by city bus or (depending on the success of various trials) an electric "people carrier". There are two
tourist offices
. One is in the shopping centre on The Cornhill, close to the train and bus stations (Easter-Sept Mon-Thurs 9.30am-5.30pm, Fri 9.30am-5pm, Sat 10am-5pm; Oct-Easter same days, but closes 4pm; tel 01522/579056,
), the other is at 9 Castle Hill, between the cathedral and the castle (same hours; tel 01522/529828,
). Both have a useful range of literature on Lincoln and its surroundings, take bookings for guided tours of the city, and operate an accommodation-booking service. Other useful information
