Identifying Stations

Stations/locations are identified by a few different items of data.

  • CRS - Computer reservation system, also referred to as national reservation system NRS codes
    • The handy 3 Character Code
  • NLC - National Location Codes
  • TIPLOC - Timing Point Locations
  • STANOX - Station Numbers
  • ATCO code - Used by multi-modal journey planners and timetables

Examples
