Following on from the thread about Grand Central's application to run a Cleethorpes-King's Cross via Scunthorpe service at https://www.railforums.co.uk/thread...horpes-kings-cross-application-to-orr.283544/ Cleethorpes and Grimsby's last direct London service was withdrawn in May 1993 but that went via Lincoln. Does anyone know if Scunthorpe ever had a direct London service, and if so when it last ran?

I think it did. For a short period the Sunday service from Cleethorpes ran via Scunthorpe instead of Lincoln. I don't recall the exact dates, but I guess 1980s? (This was the only Cleethorpes to London service that ran at a civilised hour - during thge week the service ran at crack of dawn but on Sundays it was at lunchtime)
