Skegness is well signposted, but from the north, follow the road for Boston until you see signs for Skegness. Once in Skegness, the station is well signposted, as it is right on the edge of the town centre.

There is no car park at the station. You can park in Tesco or Morrisons, which are nearby, but for 2 hours only. Other car parking, chargeable, but with longer periods, are available at the promenade, but you are looking at a 10 minute walk from these car parks.

Central Trains provide a regular train service from Nottingham, with some services from Grantham. Timetables are available from the Central Trains website.
Bus services are provided by Stagecoach in Lincolnshire, though at the time of writing, not all buses had been repainted into Stagecoach corporate colours. In addition, the new Stagecoach Lincolnshire website is not yet live, so visit the Roadcar, or the Stagecoach bus websites.

Skegness is a holiday resort, and has a large selection of amenities. Most are within 10 minutes walk of the station, including the pleasure beach and the pier!

Skegness is a holiday resort. If you do intend to stay here, try and book in advance. One website to visit is Butlins. Also the Skegness tourism website.

Lincoln Rail Gen

Skegness has ticket gates, so you will only be able to take pictures from the concourse. The track ahead is straight for a good few miles, and so you will see the headlights of a train a long way away. In addition, due to there still being semaphore signalling, an alarm bell will ring in the station a few minutes before a train comes into sight, as a get ready signal for staff.
If, like me, you are also a bus enthusiast, you can also pop into the bus station, which is next to the rail station. Stagecoach vehicles sue the site, and examples include Volvo B7TL and Dennis Trident low floor double deckers, MCW Metrobuses, Volvo B7rle single deckers, and Dennis Dart SLFs.
One last thing, there is a statue of the 'Jolly Fisherman' with his suitcase! Get a photo of him, and look carefully at his feet. There is a fish there!
