Station Code Game

That's strange. It's says SPX as St. Pancras Int'l in my Rail Guide 2014.

Ok. I'll do CSW

I think that STP is now the code for that particular railway station. A number of stations have had code changes since 2000.

ZLA not recognized - change to ZLW (Whitechapel, next one up)?

Nope, not Whitechapel! Tube station which gets about 6-7 million passengers a year

Yes, but it's not listed by National Rail:

The code has to be the proper station one as listed by National Rail.

Yes, but it's not listed by National Rail:

That's very odd, I had no problem bringing it up on the National Rail website.

Came up as not found here.

I wonder what Paul Sidorczuk decrees regarding the matter? Being very familiar with CRS/NLC codes for railway stations on the Tube, I believed many others would be too.

As NRE has validated and recognised it, surely that means it is within the rules?

Leave ZLA in the from box, and enter EUS in the destination box. It will recognise it.

And may I add:

4) You cannot use any website to decipher codes, this is cheating. However, if you are stuck to find a station code to post on your own turn, you may.

Sorry not to have been online, but there is much to do on other matters that need my attention that have occurred during my recent 8-day holiday.

My specialised code information in my archives shows that ZLA was used in the past for Lancaster Gate Underground Station, but nonetheless. I do agree that ZLA is not a code that is currently recognised by National Rail Enquiries and as such, is deemed to be invalid as a posting entry.

So, I guess that we are currently at

WLP.

WLP was correctly identified as being that of Welshpool by JakeF on posting # 9680.

In that case, taking into account recent developments, may I propose

As a way of resolving this discussion about validity and moving on?
