Avon Valley Railway: The Avon Valley Railway is more than just a train ride, offering a whole new experience for some or a nostalgic memory for others. It's a real treat for the whole family!
Steam trains are running each Sunday in October, with a diesel service on Saturday 17th October.
Over the school holidays we will be running our Heritage Diesel Railcar on Tuesday 27th, Wednesday 28th and Thursday 29th, with an hourly service between 11am and 4pm.
The centre of operations for the Avon Valley Railway is at Bitton, an original Midland Railway station painstakingly restored by volunteer members. Like many country stations of that era, Bitton had its own goods shed, which now acts as our loco shed and maintenance depot. However, Bitton's original size has meant that a lot of the necessary facilities have had to be squeezed into a small space, in a way that caters for modern visitors and yet still keeps the flavour of a local station in the heyday of steam.
