 Bitton railway station and yards.
The Avon Valley Railway is a two mile
long heritage railway
between Oldland Common
and Bitton
in South Gloucestershire
, England
. Until 2004
its eastern terminus was the station at Bitton, but an extension of 1.25 miles to a new station at Avon Riverside was opened during that year. The railway is part of the otherwise dismantled LMS
branch line
from Mangotsfield
to Green Park station
, Bath
, which was closed during the Beeching Axe
of the 1960s
as the Great Western Railway
a few miles to the south also connected Bristol
to Bath.
The railway is run by a local group, the Bitton Railway co., based in Bitton station, which they acquired in 1972
.
The railway shares its route with the Sustrans
cycleway
and footpath, the Bristol and Bath railway path
(part of NCR 4
).
Also, building of a new buffet and toilets facility at Bitton station is due to begin in 2007 to replace the current buffet and toilets and to increase space for the railways Gift Shop.
