Went to Immingham many times from HM , both working trains and on other duties.
We had the Humber Oil Gas Tanks to Ellesmere Port and return for 7 years.
This train ran more or less 4 times per week.
We also had a job with a tank train over the Immingham Light Railway to Courtoulds Sidings.
In 1988 there was a lot of trouble with the Iron Ore trains when BR sent them DOO without any agreement.
