In class, especially during geography, science and religion lessons, the pupils ask all sorts of interesting questions- some of which we can answer straight away, and some of which we need to research.
This blog is for the pupils to record these curious questions and then for others -classmates, teachers, parents and friends, to post their answers. Sometimes there might even be more than one answer to these curious questions!

Cavan Rail
In geography we were learning about Ireland's rail network. We discovered that there used to be a railway station in Cavan. Can anyone tell us where exactly the railway station was, and where the track went to after Cavan?
The station was where the Anglo Celt Offices are now. That building was a railway building/ticket office. It was part of the Great Northern Railway line. It went to Clones and to Longford, there was no line to Dublin. It left Co. Cavan at Cloverhill in the North and Mullaghoran in the South. The Council own a lot of the line now.

ReplyDeleteThe old railway station is where the Anglo Celt office is now and it used to travel on to Monaghan.
