[9] This part of the line was single track; it originally had three passing places ("loops" in railway parlance) where the line: A fourth, turnback, loop was added at the extreme western end of the street running section, west of Cleveland Bridge, in 1956 when the remainder of the street running section closed.
No platforms ever existed at any of the stopping places; passengers were expected to board and alight from the roadway or trackside cinders according to the location.
It opened with the line in 1912[14] and was mentioned in the 1914[15] and 1922 timetables,[6] as well as the 1948 version reproduced in the Grimsby and Immingham Electric Railway article.
Unusually among British tramways services ran round the clock, particularly to provide for railway workers based at Immingham engine shed, whose duties often involved starting or finishing at unsocial hours.
After 1945 industry was attracted to the south bank of the Humber, steadily transforming the landscape from rural to urban, though few workers at the new plants lived locally.
[17] In 1956 over a million passengers used the line,[18] nevertheless the roadway section east of Cleveland Bridge, including Jackson Street halt, closed at midnight on 30 June 1956.
The process of demolition was piecemeal and even in 2013 many hints of the line remained, such as spun concrete masts near Immingham Town.
