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!

Following the success of the Half Term train services we have now stopped running our trains until Sunday 18th March 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.

Steam trains will be running every Sunday from 18th March to the end of October. For the Easter period steam trains will operate daily from the 3rd to the 12th April.

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.
