I'm not sure if they are reffered to as just Bradford or Portsmouth as they are 2 in each city.

Also occasionally I have seen St Albans City called St Albans which would make St Albans Abbey one as well.

Do the Newtons count for this?

N.Abbot, N. Aycliffe, N. St Cyres, N. le Willows, N. on Ayr compared to plain old Newton (near Glasgow).

Looking through previous posts quickly, has anyone mentioned all the Actons in West London?

There are two Gillinghams: the one in Kent, and the one that appears on SWT station screens as "Gillingham (D)", which, if you were really meaning to go to the first one, you probably wouldn't realise stood for "Dorset".
