Modern Day
Following the splitting up of the former BR Trainload business into three companies in 1994, the depot came under the brief control of "shadow privatisation company" Loadhaul before being amalgamated into English, Welsh & Scottish Railway. The depot code is IM and is a separate entity from Immingham Railfreight Terminal.
As of April 2009, servicing of locomotives no longer takes place at Immingham.

Famous quotes containing the words modern and/or day:
“He was naturally so sensitive, and so kind. But he had the insidious modern disease of tolerance. He must tolerate everything, even a thing that revolted him.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“I, who cannot stay in my chamber for a single day without acquiring some rust,... confess that I am astonished at the power of endurance, to say nothing of the moral insensibility, of my neighbors who confine themselves to shops and offices the whole day for weeks and months, aye, and years almost together. I know not what manner of stuff they are of,—sitting there now at three o’clock in the afternoon, as if it were three o’clock in the morning.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
