Ideally Central would be preceded by Newcastle.
However, do you then precede Manors with Newcastle?
I disagree. In no terms of railway context 'Newcastle Central' is used - in booking engines, tickets, live departures, even down to Network Rail TIPLOC codes etc.
If it has no place on the system (nor the likes of station signs) it should not be used. The PIS must have a character limit too because on the external destination display, it's "Newcastle Cent" - this abbreviation is worse than having Central on itself!
Manors is a separate station; even the Metro station has been. It should just be 'Newcastle' and 'Manors'.
