Description
🚆 A Day at Lincoln Central Station 28/01/26

From early morning departures to heavy freight charging through the station, this action-packed day at Lincoln Central Station captures everything modern UK rail has to offer. Filmed between 0830 and 1540, this video features passenger services, Class 66 freight, stop-start departures, and non-stop movements on both main lines — a true showcase of railway operations in Lincolnshire.

Welcome back to Trains and Freight Diaries for another full day of UK railway action — this time from Lincoln Central Station on 28th January 2026.

Filmed across a long winter session from 0830 through to 1540, this video captures a superb mix of modern passenger traction and heavy freight workings passing through one of Lincolnshire’s busiest rail hubs.

Passenger highlights include multiple LNER Azuma workings with 800205, 800203, 800202 and 800206, along with East Midlands Railway Class 170 and Class 158 services operating local and regional routes throughout the day. A standout moment sees 800205 on 1B83 performing an unusual stop-start departure from the curved Platform 5 — a moment many rail enthusiasts will appreciate.

Freight action is equally strong, with a wide variety of Class 66 locomotives working intermodal, aggregates and engineering services. Featured locomotives include 66769 on 6E86 (used as the thumbnail image), along with 66782, 66708, 66714, 66743, 66724, 66745, 66517, 66539, 66007, 66090 and 66114 — offering constant movement throughout the station.

This video captures the real rhythm of the railway — the announcements, the platform activity, and the contrast between stopping passenger services and fast-moving freight trains working through Lincoln.

If you enjoy real UK trainspotting, modern traction, freight operations and full-day station coverage, this one is for you.
