All the 3+s I can find have been mentioned. Pair wise there are hundreds, from Abbey Wood->Belvedere through Tutbury & Hatton->Uttoxeter

Did find 5 in a row with the same letter at the start though

Seaburn->Stadium of Light->St Peters->Sunderland->Seaham

Not sure if TW Metro counts

Not quite what is being asked for, but there are three consecutive stations on the Wirral Line which begin with M and are in alphabetical order (Manor Road, Meols and Moreton) when travelling from West Kirby.

.. and skipping along the line beyond Leasowe you have Bidston, Birkenhead North, Birkenhead Park.

You could change the question slightly and ask for stations in alphabetical order regardless of whether the initial letters are consecutive.

Not alphabetical, but the main SWR route has four lots of consecutive doubles, which amused me.

Bournemouth
Branksome
Parkstone
Poole
Hamworthy
