Review & FAQ:

Avon Valley Railway is an educational railway with special themed events and a station-based buffet year-round. Travelers will find this museum situated along Bath Road, at Bitton Station in Bristol, England. Midland Railway opened the through-route in 1869; it served as a connection between England’s South Coast and Birmingham. The railway ended up later connecting to Somerset & Dorset Railway. The railway was closed starting in the 1960’s due to the Beeching Axe, however the Avon Valley Railway was well preserved by a group of volunteers with a strong passion and desire to see it survive. Today, three miles of scenic track can be used by restored locomotives and carriages.
