As do Circle line trains calling at Edgware Road on the 'lassoo' service on the Underground.

Plenty of examples of trains calling at stations with the same main title if not suffix - e.g. Paignton to Exmouth calling at
Exeter St. Thomas, St. Davids, Central.
Circle line trains do call at two different Paddington stations with the same name!

Was there ever a through service from Newport (Salop) to Newport (Mon)? Newport (IoW) sadly couldn't have been tagged on - for obvious reasons!

I remember catching a Saturday service from either platform 3 or 4 at Clapham Jct which had come from Reading and headed to the Kent Coast. I got off at Ashford (Kent). It will have gone through Ashford (Middlesex - now Surrey); don’t know if it stopped there. Mid-late 80s Summer Saturdays.
Yes - I remember this. It terminated at Folkestone Harbour from memory. Fast from Clapham Junction to Ashford (Kent). The 8 car train I travelled on only had about 10 passengers in total. This only run during the Summer months for one year only (not surprising with the limited patronage) and was really a timetabled excursion train.

There might be cases like this in Switzerland, as there are at least towns with the same name but in different cantons.
Though no specific towns come to mind.
Switzerland has Au (St. Gallen) and Au (Zürich), but there's no direct train connecting them both, or with the Au in Germany.

There's no direct connection either that I can see between Freiburg in Switzerland and Freiburg in the south-west of Germany.

Finally someone else remembers this. One of the very few ways pre-Overground to do the Ludgate lines from Clapham Jct. Not busy when I went either.
