== Accidents and incidents == * 28 September 1907, Brakesman John Fairbrother, was working a train to the docks. The train stopped in the tunnel and as Fairbrother went to lift some of the wagon brakes he slipped bruising his back and knees. While he was not injured further, lifting the brakes caused the train to descend uncontrollably down the tracks damaging 13 wagons and 4 brake vans.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Esbester |first=Mike |date=2022-09-05 |title=Listed accidents |url=https://www.railwayaccidents.port.ac.uk/listed-accidents/ |access-date=2024-04-23 |website=Railway Work, Life & Death |language=en-US}}</ref>
