🚂 Armagh Rail Disaster Walking Tour and Museum Visit🚂

15th Jan 2026

This week, Primary 7 met up with their friends at Lisnadil Primary School to kickstart this year’s Shared Education project on the Armagh Rail Disaster of 1889. The pupils were very interested to learn about the tragedy and were able to interact with artefacts from the time at the Armagh County Museum. The pupils also got to visit some of the sights linked to the railway disaster during a walking tour led by local historian, Donna Fox. We look forward to sharing many more exciting and valuable learning experiences with our friends at Lisnadil.
