Grimsby Town railway station serves the town of Grimsby in North East Lincolnshire, England. It is currently operated by First TransPennine Express, and is also served by Northern Rail and East Midlands Trains. It opened in 1848 and was formerly the terminus of the East Lincolnshire Line from Peterborough and Boston via Louth until its closure to passengers in 1970.

The station has the PlusBus scheme where train and bus tickets can be bought together at a saving, it is in the same area as Grimsby Docks and Cleethorpes stations.

The station was refurbished by Transpennine Express in 2007/2008. Brand new departure screens have been fitted and are now in use, along with an automated announcement system (CIS). The ticket office has also been refurbished, the refurbishment includes new lighting, seating, flooring and a refurbished ticket desk. The waiting room on platform 2 and the station buffet have also been refurbished. Two new lifts at a cost of £2 million were installed in 2011 and were opened by Grimsby MP Austin Mitchell on Tuesday 19 July 2011.

Services

The station is served on weekdays by TransPennine Express trains between Cleethorpes and Manchester Airport via Sheffield and Manchester Piccadilly (hourly), the Northern-operated Cleethorpes to Barton-On-Humber local stopping service (every two hours) and by East Midlands Trains services to Lincoln and Newark (eight trains per day, roughly every two hours). Only one of these (the first westbound service each morning and last back each evening) runs to and from Cleethorpes--the others all start/terminate here. Three Northern trains to and from Sheffield via Retford operate on Saturdays only.

Sundays see a two-hourly service to Manchester in the morning, increasing to hourly in the afternoon. A limited service to both Barton and Lincoln operates during the summer months only.
