The chief operator at the time of closure was Stagecoach in Lincolnshire, who run city- and county-wide services, with destinations including Boston, Grantham, Grimsby, Scunthorpe and Skegness.

The following day, services transferred to a temporary bus station located in a former car park off Tentercroft Street, half a mile to the south.

In October 2016, an archaeological dig commenced on the site, recovering a large horde of 12th and 13th century pottery and other artefacts.

[9] The station buildings were designed in 1848 by John Henry Taylor of London for the Great Northern Railway company.

It is built in a Tudor revival style of yellow brick, with stone dressings and slate roofs, with 6 ridge and 8 side wall stacks.

The site was also previously occupied by 2 car parks (one run by City of Lincoln Council (CoLC), the other NCP).

The car park run by NCP was located in the middle of a roundabout in st Mary's street to the south of the old bus station.

The site of the former bus station is now occupied by a new 1,000-space multi-storey car park,[20] which was completed in early November 2017.
