A collector has shared an undated parking ticket issued for a bicycle by British Railways' Eastern Region at Fakenham East station in Norfolk. The small ticket, serial number 2193 and measuring 31 by 57 millimetres, is described as being in very good, undamaged condition. It offers a glimpse of everyday railway travel in mid-20th century Britain, when cyclists could leave bikes at stations with an official paper ticket.
