FMCbwnegs 154 70037 on Grimsby to Whitland Fish at Wilford South
September 1963 and Britannia 70037 Hereward the Wake is at Wilford South on a Grimsby to Whitand fish train that left Grimsby at 16.30.
The Brit was an Immingham loco from September 1961 to December 1963 and I guess these fast fish trains formed part of their regular workload.
My parents lived in Nottingham from 1958 to 1962 and I was born there although I was too young to remember anything, we lived not too far from here and the house backed onto the GCR.
I have attached a link to a forum discussion on these services which I have found as its quite an interesting routing.

Kevin Lane has a photo of the same loco on the same train earlier in the year at Leicester on his stream and this is the link for that. www.flickr.com/photos/28083135@N06/6427344151
