12-year-old Jack has been undertaking 50 miles of sponsored running and walking throughout May to support our 'Fit for the Future' Appeal! - and has nearly reached the end of his challenge! 🏃‍♂️ 🚂

So far Jack has raised over £1000 to contribute to the appeal - which is amazing! All of this will support us massively as we look towards the future.
Before his challenge draws to a close you can donate and help Jack with 'one final push' to help him raise as much as he can! You can support Jack and our appeal by visiting his JustGiving page: https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/leanne-sullivan

🎥 Last year Bitton station was lucky enough to return as ‘Little Kilton station’ as part of the filming for the second series of 'A Good Girl's Guide to Murder' released on BBC iPlayer today, and also premiering on BBC One tonight at 10:40pm.

This BBC / Moonage Pictures adaptation of Holly Jackson's young adult mystery crime books was filmed on location, in and around Somerset, and we feature again as the town’s railway station.

Income from filming helps support the railway by enabling us to continue our latest restoration and maintenance projects, and we always like seeing ourselves on screen!
