	Description:		For this Avon Story, I travelled 20 miles outside of Bristol, to find out about the railway line that runs up the Avon Gorge to Pill and the Royal Portbury Dock, and used to continue on to Portishead, on the Bristol Channel. Dave Chillistone of the Portishead Railway Group took me for a walk and told me why the railway was built, the impact on the town, why it was closed, and why the PRG are campaigning for it to be re-opened. You can follow our walk, with photos and lots more information, on my website, http://www.avonstories.com
