An unidentified ex-LMS 5MT 4-6-0 locomotive pilots an ex-LNER B1 4-6-0 locomotive on a service to New Street, probably from Cleethorpes. There was a daily service between New Street and Cleethorpes normally headed by an Immingham allocated B1 locomotive. Doubling heading either indicated the service had been strengthened with additional carriages or it the locomotive was working back to its home shed without the need to find another path in an otherwise busy stretch of line.
