People from Stamford thinking of attending the Bishop of Lincoln's Chrism Celebration in the Cathedral on Tuesday this week, 26th March, might like to make a bit of a rail adventure out of the day. The best train there leaves here at 08:01 and involves one change, at Peterborough, into the 08:33 for Lincoln.Depending upon how much of a day in Lincoln you want, and how much of an adventure you want the return trip to be, there is a choice of trains back. The earliest, and most adventurous (!) which allows attendance at the service and then lunch in Lincoln is the 13:40, which involves a change not only of trains but of stations in Newark (you get fifty minutes to do it, so there is even time for a - quick - look around), arriving at Newark Castle and then catching the 14:55 from Newark Northgate and changing again at Peterborough to arrive in Stamford at 16:04.
Later is the 14:46 from Lincoln, with a change at Newark Northgate into the 15:52 to Peterborough and the 16:52 there for Stamford, arriving at 17:04. You can stay a bit longer in Lincoln and get the 16:01 which goes back the same way as you came with just the change at Peterborough into the 17:52 to Stamford, arriving 18:04.
Return fare is £38.50. All good fun, and inspiring worship in one of the world's greatest cathedrals as well!
