It would be great if those towns more commonly known by their shorter version could be included as correct answers e.g stoke, barrow, southend
Well, it's your quiz, not mine, just a suggestion :-)
However probably largely due to the original source which the quiz setter is doing their best to interpret.
This source was written by an organisation which focuses on "forests, wildlife, oceans" so probably not experts on urban geography! And includes the caveat "Note that double listings may reflect different spellings or definitions of urban agglomerations" which suggests it was web-scraping rather than human-curated. :-(
