I smile every time I ride the DC Metro through "U Street/African-American Civil War Memorial/Cardozo Station".
Station names don't have to be short. There's no rule.
That's true, but no one very few people apart from Canard and his buddies ever say "We're getting off at U Street African-American Civil War Memorial Cardozo [breath] station, right?"
I am glad it's Central Station. I'm not too interested in what the second half was. I suspect I'll be using "Victoria" in conversation, but at least "Central Station" will be informative to people who might not be regular users of the system.
