Immingham (Eastern Jetty) railway station was a special excursion station built along the port's eastern jetty^[4] to cater for traffic to passenger ships on cruises to the North Cape, Norwegian Fjords and the Baltic.

The station was not much more than a long wooden platform along the jetty. It was only used for the transfer of the passengers and luggage from train to ship and vice versa so little in the way of facilities was needed or provided. The critical provision was numerous staff to guide travellers and handle their belongings.^[5][6][7]
