Immingham (Eastern Jetty) railway station was a special excursion station built along the eastern jetty to cater for traffic to passenger ships which started out on cruises from here to the North Cape, Norwegian Fjords and the Baltic. The cruise ships, which tied up on the outside of the arm, were then adjacent to the trains which operated to Marylebone via Retford, the Waleswood Curve and the then new main line via Leicester Central.
