That's definitely Falmouth.

If so, then try Ráth Droma

Falmouth Town?

Falmouth Town is correct.

(Falmouth Docks would be "Porthklos Aberfala".)

 

[backontrack]

I have no idea what it might be

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

I think that this one is the one still waiting to be solved.

Ráth Droma - Rathdrum

Gleanntán

 

[Francis]

Rathdrum

Cill Mhantain
With an acute accent on the second 'a'

 

[hurricanemk1c]

Missed one there - Cill Mhantáin is Wicklow

Back to Gleanntán

 

[Francis]

The Glens or The Valleys? But I don't know where or what it is

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Back to Gleanntán

I am somewhat unsure, so all I can say is if that name above had the word An in front of it, I would venture to offer....

Glounthaume

 

[hurricanemk1c]

Close enough - Glounthaune. Station signage only states Gleanntán (having been a bit sneaky with my last one!)

 

[Francis]

Is it Lagmore, Belfast?

 

[hurricanemk1c]

Gleanntán is Glounthaune as Paul said and I confirmed

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Gleanntán is Glounthaune as Paul said and I confirmed

Resrudh

 

[Francis]

This is on the Cobh line, right?
The station signage on platform 2 just by the overbridge states:

"Gleanntain (with acute on the second 'a')
Glounthaune"

I was there yesterday and took a picture!

Also for Paul Sidorczuk - you were right about Charleville:

The station sign reads: Staisiun Rath Luirc (with acutes on the 'a' and 'u' of Staisiun and on the a of Rath).

An Rath however is the official Irish name. Rath Luirc or Loirc comes from poetry translations of 1849 but was widely used - a bit legendary. It's complicated but see the Wikipedia.

And Redruth, by the way.

Droichead Abhann O gCearnaigh with an acute accent on the 'O'
