History
The Lynn & Sutton Bridge Railway was authorised on 6 August 1861, to build a line between those points.[2] It was opened between King's Lynn and Sutton Bridge in November 1864; passenger trains began on 1 March 1866. The first station after King's Lynn was West Lynn, which was located at the western end of the bridge over the Great Ouse;[3] that station was closed on 1 July 1886.[4] The station at South Lynn was opened on 1 January 1886 along with other improvements in the area.[5]
