Oldland Common Halt is a railway station on the Avon Valley Railway. The station is on the same site as a previous station which was on the-then LMS Bath branch from Mangotsfield. Then, paths led down to the platforms from North Street, with one now providing access to the Bristol & Bath Railway Path. However, until 1966 there were two platforms, one for each direction of travel.
