Trains to King's Lynn - Station Details and further Information on King's Lynn Train Services
King's Lynn train station serves the town of King's Lynn in Norfolk. The station is the terminus of the Fen Line from Cambridge, which is electrified at 25 kV AC overhead. It has been the only major train station in the town since the closure of South Lynn train station in 1959.
The station is primarily served by First Capital Connect as part of their service from London King's Cross to King's Lynn. Outside peak hours services run non-stop between London and Cambridge as part of a half-hourly Cambridge service; one train per hour then continues beyond Cambridge, stopping at all stations on the Fen Line to King's Lynn. A small number of services, operated by National Express East Anglia during rush hours, travel to Liverpool Street instead; in the past, through-trains from London always started from Liverpool Street, but services were shifted to King's Cross in the 1990s.
When the Thameslink Programme is completed, King's Lynn will join the Thameslink network of cross-London services. This will mean that most trains for London from King's Lynn will no longer stop at King's Cross; instead, they will be diverted onto the Thameslink route and on to St Pancras, Farringdon, and various destinations thereafter. The Thameslink programme is expected to reach King's Lynn in 2015. |
