It is the final stage of “enabling works” to prepare for the actual work to reopen the railway. In 2023, a new “bat corridor” was created for wildlife away from the railway line and, in 2024, the old railway tracks themselves were removed last year and donated to the Avon Valley heritage railway.
The vegetation work is beginning in Portishead and will proceed along the line to Pill. Marcus Jones, the Western route director at Network Rail, said: “This project has been a longstanding ambition and we're excited to now be at the delivery phase.”
