Morphett Vale Railway would like to thank you for your understanding and continued support during these times.... The team are working very hard behind the scenes to ensure that we can open and operate effectively whilst ensuring we maintain social distancing requirements and a COVID safe plan for the community.

Things are still happening around the railway including new locomotives being built by some of our members. The work on our bridge is continuing as well as many other small projects. We are keen to get back and out do what we enjoy, which is providing a fun, family friendly afternoon of train rides and look forward to seeing you all in 2021!!!!

13.01.2022 COVID-19 and SOCIAL DISTANCING UPDATE Morphett Vale Railway would like to remind the public that due to Covid-19 restrictions and Social distancing requirements of 1.5m we are still unable to open to the public. We can not run the railway effectively and efficiently for all visitors with the current restrictions.... Morphett Vale Railway often has 400 - 500 visitors on any given run day and with the current restrictions we would be limited to the number of passengers per train. We are eager to open again, however our main priority is the health, safety and welfare of our members and visitors. Morphett Vale Railway need to remain compliant with restrictions during this time to ensure that we can run again in the future. We would like to thank all of members and the community who are keen to get back to riding the trains for your cooperation, patience and understanding.

12.01.2022 Important Update With the latest news of person to person contamination of COVID-19 Morphett Vale Railway has made the decision to cancel our run days until further notice. We have taken this precautionary action as it is our responsibility to look after the health and safety of our community and our members. This also ensures that we are compliant with the Governments rule of no mass public gatherings of 500 people or more. This was by no means an easy decision for Morphe...tt Vale Railway to make, however one that we hope all members of the community understand and support. We will keep you all updated when new information and recommendations become available. We thank you for your understanding. See more

All training is provided on site by club members. Member benefits include a great social environment. Great way to learn new skills. Learn how to be a train guard.

If you or someone you know is looking for something to do and would love to help out please tell them to send us a message or call us on 08 8387 6564.
