goods traffic was more substantial, with fruit, hops and timber being sent out and coal being received. the 1937 timetable showed two down freight workings from paddock wood and one conditional working for goudhurst, while in the other direction two conditional workings ran from hawkhurst and one from goudhurst. these were market trains and carried wagons for blackfriars goods attached to freight services at paddock wood. the volume of goods carried fell into steep decline after the second world war as more and more freight was taken to market by road. coal traffic remained constant as did the transport of pot plants from local nurseries at flimwell and wadhurst for f w woolworth. this was an important source of revenue for the line with one million pot plants a year being transported from hawkhurst, bringing in around £1,000 per week. up to four parcels and miscellaneous vans were loaded daily at hawkhurst and attached to the last train to tonbridge, with further collections possibly being made at horsmonden; special services were laid on in the busy period before mothering sunday.
