existence there were several incentives to encourage more passengers.

stations on the line.
Bicycle
storage ticket, Honing Station
This receipt, dating from 1948, is an example of what was required
to be able to store a bicycle at the station.
Potato
traffic wagon label
Potato traffic formed a large part of the M&GN's goods consignment
and this label is an example of one attached to a wagon carried from
Wryde Station to King's Cross.
M&GN
Winter Timetable, 1937-1938
Although by this time the M&GN was actually controlled by the
LNER it retained its own identity. This timetable was owned by Billy
Durrant, one of the signalmen at Potter Heigham station who doubtless
referred to it in his work.
