The very last direct services. When were they?

[Harlesden]

I realize that the very last ever departure from London King's Cross to
(a) Grimsby/Cleethorpes via the East Lincolnshire Line
(b) Grimsby/Cleethorpes by the post-1970 route
were not major events in British Rail history, but were they marked in any way and is there anything on the web. I have looked but cannot find anything, but maybe genuine enthusiasts know historical type sites that I don't.

This is a link to a web site with pictures of
a) East Lincs line in the week prior to closure in Oct 1970
b) the last trains on the Louth freight stub in Dec 1980

I know these are not the last passenger trains from Kings Cross to Grimsby via the East Lincs, which I believe ran on Sun 04 Oct 1970, but it will give you a start.

I remember being in Kilmarnock years ago and Kings Cross was listed on an old sign as a destination. This was in the days when the place had an old-style cafe that was also licensed.
The London platform was the opposite side nearer the distillery but when did that service stop and what type of service was it eg sleeper?

I think Cleethorpes last received a train from Kings Cross, 20/21 years ago (1992/1993). I remember an article in the Grimsby Telegraph in the last year or so about it being 20 years.
(Not like they payed much attention to the 150th anniversary of Cleethorpes station back in April)
