Avon Valley Railway
The Avon Valley Railway launched its first DMU services in 2009. Between the years 1994 & 2011, a Class 108 set had been in off-site storage and was intended for the railway, however the vehicles were never restored to passenger service and were eventually sold on.
Actual services were provided by a Class 107 2-car set which was on long term loan to the line. The Class 107 proved useful and was employed mainly on off peak services.
Unfortunately when the owner of the set decided to sell up in 2021 the set was purchased by individuals from another railway so it departed the site, ending the AVR's 13 year association with railcars.
The line is three miles long and operates between Avon Riverside and Oldland Common, passing through Bitton in the middle, which is also where all the sidings, sheds and restoration activities are located.
