Pichi Richi Railway's Executive and managers have been working hard to implement measures in accordance with the government recommendations to keep our customers and volunteers safe during the COVID-19 pandemic.

We welcome Premier Marshall's announcement that COVID-19 restrictions will be gradually be eased. This is an exciting development and one that is so important to our communities and businesses. 

At this time, restrictions still in place prevent Pichi Richi Railway from operating. We are optimistic it won't be long before we can safely operate, but we will only do so when the health and well-being of our volunteers and passengers can be assured. We continue to monitor and review this daily. 

Thank you to everyone who is contributing to our fast recovery from this crisis, and further thanks for the messages of support received. We look forward to welcoming you aboard soon!
