I hear that Avon Valley Railway will be celebrating \u2018Railway 200\u2019, the bicentennial anniversary of the modern railway, with a weekend of family entertainment and an intensive timetable of steam and heritage diesel trains on 27th and 28th September.<\/p>\n

Families can enjoy a fun-filled programme of entertainment across both days, including choirs, Morris dancing, an accurate model railway of Mangotsfield, and opportunities to ride a heritage bus between Keynsham and Bitton.<\/p>\n

Appealing to enthusiasts, the cherished heritage railway based at Bitton (between Bristol and Bath) plans to operate an intensive timetable with four steam and heritage diesel locomotives across the full weekend.<\/p>\n

Roger Eynon, Chairman of the Avon Valley Railway Trust, commented, \u201cWe are proud to be celebrating this important Railway 200 milestone with a weekend of entertainment for all the family. <\/p>\n

An intensive timetable of steam and heritage diesel trains will operate from our main station at Bitton, providing visitors with the opportunity to step aboard into the past and ride comfortably in our restored 1960s carriages\u201d. We hope that visitors will be inspired to become volunteers of the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tickets are now on sale, and all proceeds contribute towards making Avon Valley Railway sustainable for future generations.<\/p>\n
