A NEW waiting room, modern toilets, a coffee shop and a microbrewery will open at Lincoln Central this summer as part of a £2million improvement scheme.
The programme has already delivered a new cycle hub, refurbished roof, station forecourt and car park entrance, and work is now focusing on the restoration of the Grade-II listed building, reopening original archways, restoring the original ground floor sash windows, and repairs to original brickwork.
Ticket gates will also be installed in a new location to help improve the flow of passengers to and from trains.
