Information from Ordnance Survey maps and (S1).
The original South Lynn station was a timber building, located to the east of Saddlebow Road but a new station was opened to the west of Saddlebow Road on 14 April 1901 which had two island platforms. One of these accommodated main line trains, while the other, smaller one, was used by local trains which shuttled between this station and King's Lynn's main station.
