  • 20-Year State Infrastructure Strategy
    Submission to Infrastructure SA: 20-Year State Infrastructure Strategy GENERAL The Pichi Richi Railway Preservation Society (PRRPS) is a rail based, tourism, not for profit organisation providing rail experiences between Quorn and Port Augusta. The Society started operation in 1974 from Quorn and extended to Pt Augusta in 2001. It has expanded its product range and length and is now 39 kilometres long and offering some 5 distinct products delivered by in excess of 69 train services per annum. The workshop facilities and main operations base are at Quorn. The customer base comprises intrastate, interstate and international visitors. Most of the customers have planned holidays around trips on one of rail services. As rail experiences are roughly ½ day in length, patrons of PRRPS’s services generally spend visitor nights at Quorn, Pt Augusta or close by. The PRRPS operates over the original Ghan railway line and given the Ghan’s history, interest and media exposure the term “Ghan” has strong brand recognition. The majority of customers have deliberately planned to visit the railway with a lesser number making a spur of the moment decision should they see a train in the Station. The society recognises the need to grow and along that line has appointed a Business Development Manager. The job is to specifically increase patronage but operating in a 2+ year time frame. A large proportion of bookings are made up to one year in advance which suggests pre-planning at some time before that. New products are in the planning stage including those which will enable us to operate in fire ban periods.
