The Avon Valley Railway is taking people back in time this March to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the closure of the Bristol and Bath railway line.

Dr Beeching closed Bitton Station in 1966, and visitors can visit the station as part of an immersive event on the 8th March, as it was when it was closed.

The event will feature re-enactors at the station and on board trains, with both the protesters and Dr Beeching making appearances.

Passengers can travel on 5 round-trip trains, and there will be an exhibition carriage with displays of the closure.

Local dignitaries will be part of unveiling a interpretstaion panel.

Most excitingly for visitors, accompanied children will travel for 1960’s fares, which cost just 20p.

Further details on the event and bookings can be found online.
