Port Dock Station Opening Event - 24th and 25th August 2024
From the NRM website
Join us on the 24th and 25th August 2024 as we celebrate the opening of the Port Dock Station!
Community Open Day on 24th August and first public trains on 25th August.
On 24th August, the PTP Alliance is holding a Community Open Day in the car park adjacent to the National Railway Museum, and at the new station behind the NRM site.
On this day, the National Railway Museum, South Australian Aviation Museum, Clipper Ship City of Adelaide, and South Australian Maritime Museum, will be offering free entry between 11am and 2pm.
The NRM will also be offering cheaper admission prices from 10am to 11am, and from 2pm to 4pm ($10 for adults, $5 for concession and children).
A free shuttle bus will be running between the Museums during the 11am-2pm window. The Redhens will be running at the NRM, for a gold coin donation (or EFT donation).
Scouts will also be onsite with their fantastic barbecue.
More information about the Community Open Day can be found at https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/.../PA-PTPA... Please note that public trains to the new station do not start until the 25th, there will be no public trains to the new station on the 24th.
On Sunday 25 August, the NRM will be running the Redhens again, which will be included in the price of admission, and
catering onsite will be both:
- Scouts with their barbecue; and
- Rotary in the Cafe Car.
Normal admission prices apply. This is the first day of public trains running to the new station, so take the opportunity to catch a train ride directly to the back doorstep of the National Railway Museum!
The QR code will take you to our website! You will see latest stories and photos from member activities.
