2026 Timetable

Please note:

We only operate trains on the dates shown by a coloured box. On the other dates, our station site will be open and our Buffet is open every day except Christmas Day and Boxing Day.

The total experience lasts approximately 55 minutes (6-mile roundtrip journey), which includes a travelling time of 24 minutes, and 13 minutes at both terminus stations for photographs and to view the locomotive being run-round.

Your train departs from Bitton Station (BS30 6HD) and heads on a short 5 minute journey towards the northern terminus station at Oldland Common. There are opportunities to alight and watch the train crew uncouple the locomotive to run-round the carriages, re-attaching the engine to the southern end of the train.

Then its ‘all-aboard’ again for the trip towards the southern terminus at Avon Riverside, taking approximately 17 minutes (with a brief stop at Bitton on the way). There will be another opportunity for photos and to see the locomotive run-round again, before re-attaching for the final leg of the journey back to Bitton Station.
