Services
Passenger services on the line are provided by Northern Rail. Freight services previously served the chemical plant at Barton-upon-Humber and the sidings at New Holland Pier. Services are operated by one Class 153 unit every 2 hours in each direction. Before Class 153s started operating Pacers and Class 150s were used. On Mondays - Saturday, the first service of the day from Cleethorpes to Barton-on-Humber, the 06:00 departure, and the 06:58 return is operated by a First TransPennine Express Class 185 Desiro unit, although this service does not call at Great Coates and Thornton Abbey due to the low platforms. New Clee is only served by trains at request only during daylight hours only. Since the closure of the chemical plant all traces of freight operation are extinct on the route, although an occasional service has operated from the bulk terminal at New Holland.

Famous quotes containing the word services:
“Civil servants and priests, soldiers and ballet-dancers, schoolmasters and police constables, Greek museums and Gothic steeples, civil list and services list—the common seed within which all these fabulous beings slumber in embryo is taxation.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“The community and family networks which helped sustain earlier generations have become scarcer for growing numbers of young parents. Those who lack links to these traditional sources of support are hard-pressed to find other resources, given the emphasis in our society on providing treatment services, rather than preventive services and support for health maintenance and well-being.”
—Bernice Weissbourd (20th century)
“True love ennobles and dignifies the material labors of life; and homely services rendered for love’s sake have in them a poetry that is immortal.”
—Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811–1896)
