Which is fine until there is a cock-up involving orders for hangars,
coat and hangars, aircraft :-)

There wouldn't be if "hangers, coat" were spelt correctly!

On parts of the Continent mainline stations within a town are called
town identifier, so we might have, say, London Victoria, London
Clapham Junction, etc, which can sometimes be slightly confusing for
visitors.

Well, we do have London Victoria, London Waterloo, etc. Clapham
Junction, oddly, is "Not London", or so it is marked on tickets.
