Welcome

Bitton stattion

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!

We have now stopped running until the middle of February to allow for a period of maintenance of our trains and the track on which they run. However, the station and buffet remain open every day for viewing.

The next train services commence on Saturday 11th February and will run daily until Sunday 19th February for the school holiday. These services will be operated by our Heritage Diesel Railcar.

The station administration office is open Monday to Friday during normal office hours to deal with any enquiries you may have.

Full details of our 2012 running days can be found on our timetable page.
