Southampton Central, Salford Central, Wigan Wallgate, and sort of Liverpool Lime Street and London Liverpool Street. I wonder if there are any three word examples. I can't think of any

Good point :lol:

Cardiff Central isn't because Central has an S-sound.

The most obvious one is Possilpark & Parkhouse.
Cardiff Central still counts - alliterations don't have to work phonetically if the letter's the same.

Possilpark & Parkhouse, I'd contend, doesn't really count - because there's an 'and' in there.

Warrington West?

Incidentally if Cardiff Central is disallowed,is Southampton Central allowed by the same token?
