Can anyone tell me a phone number for the train station in Sheffield?
Have been to the website but not sure which station I need to type in the search.
I only want to go from Sheffield to Mablethorpe.
Anyone know what the station at Mablethorpe is called ?
or where you have to change?

Thanks

Unless someone can correct me, I do not think that there is a train service to Mablethorpe.

If you want to travel by train, I would suggest that you have two choices. Skegness or Cleethorpes.
Skegness is closer to Mablethorpe (17 miles) but I think that the train journey involves one or more changes.
Cleethorpes is 26 miles form Mablethorpe but there are direct trains running regularly from Sheffield.

You would have to look at buses to get to Mablethorpe from either of these stations.

You can no longer make enquiries by calling the local station. You can only call a national number 08457 48 49 50

Mablethorpe is Skegness and a bus, although to get to Skeggy is a fair trek - you need to change trains at either Nottingham or Grantham.

Thanks to everyone that responded for your help and advice.
I have managed to finally plan the route now and feel a lot more settled :)
