All railway stations in Great Britain have three letter alpha codes. They can be listed on timetables, departure boards, station information services and used on the online journey planners.

The rules are as follows

1) The code must be from a station in Great Britain.

2) When you submit your posting, naming that railway station in the previous posting, also add your next 3-letter station code underneath it (which must be shown in capital letters). If your attempt to solve the previous code is correct, your new 3-letter code will be accepted as the next code to solve.

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

We appear to have an instance quoted of a station of the Docklands Light Railway in ZDB which is that of Deptford Bridge DLR station.

About two years ago, it was agreed that only National Rail stations would be used on this quiz and any other systems with a 3 letter code would NOT be allowed, but it appears that particular clarification was forgotten when the rules needed changing to reflect was being considered. Therefore I will bring this matter to the attention of the forum quizmasters in order that matter can be entered into the quiz rules.

My apologies, even I make mistakes, I flicked back to page one to double check as indeed the National Rail Enquiries website does match ZDB with Deptford Bridge... I have only just discovered that it doesn't have an info page for it, which I wouldn't expect as it's a TfL station! See this screenshot...

SRA happens to be Stratford (London)... so how's about SFA?
