Peter Kerslake says "One of the the first Britannias to be ousted from their home at Norwich in company with 70039 and 70041 in December 1960, 70040 Clive of India managed to avoid going to March where so many of the former Norwich Britannias languished without work for them. Instead they were sent to Immingham where they were warmly welcomed and immediately put to work on the passenger rosters between Kings Cross and Cleethorpes.
Although generally well looked after at Immigham 70040 looks in need of a clean. The portals of the 528 yards long Gas Works tunnel loom ahead with the Regents Canal and York Road above it.
A stiff 1 in 107 climb up to Copenhagen tunnel awaits ahead and the massive signal box dominates the station approaches as an Inspector has a chat with a couple of colleagues."
