NLCs for New Stations

[37 418]

Hi folks,

Does anyone know the NLCs (National Location Codes) to Conon Bridge and Stratford Parkway? Time again to update the old station database.

They are on NRE.

CBD and STY.

I posted that, but then I thought aren't the NLCs the numeric ones?

Ohhh, yes they are, my apologies.

Conon Bridge is 6393; Stratford Parkway 6794. See here on brfares.com - nice to see that there are at least some fares defined between the two stations; that doesn't always happen so quickly.

BRFares has them as:

6393 CONON BRIDGE CBD
6794 STRATFORD PARKWY STY

I think that's the NLC, they just don't work on East Coast yet.

Edit: Too slow

I thought they might follow each other eg. 6393 then 6394. Seems arbitrary.

Traditionally, the 6xxx range of NLCs was allocated to the Eastern Region, so both stations are "out of zone" as it were.

Conon Bridge, being in the Highlands, should have a number in the 8xxx range, and Stratford Parkway should have a number in the 4xxx range, being an ex-GWR route.

However, the expansion of internet sales and expansion of TVM installation has used up a lot of NLCs, and others are "reserved" for continental ticketing.

The obvious NLCs for Stratford Parkway, for example, would be 4557 or 4559. I can find no use of the former, but the latter is allocated to The Hague! Similarly, to be in line with numbering in that part of the world, Conon Bridge should take 8622 or 8623, with 8624 being allocated to Culloden.

Thanks very much guys

IF anyone's interested, the Tiploc codes are CononBr and SoAvPwy respectively.
