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!

STEAM trains are now running every Sunday to the end of October, with a diesel service on many - but not all - Saturdays.

This Bank Holiday weekend we have a diesel service on Saturday and a steam service on Sunday and Monday. In addition, on Monday we will also have our heritage diesel railcar running so you can have two train rides for the price of one. 

Please see below or click on the link to our timetable to view the full list of operation days and special events.

The station site and buffet is open daily from 9am until 5pm.

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.
