Codes for stations and other rail locations

[whole diary]

I'm not sure where to post this ... but it's a subject that applies right across the UK^▸ (United Kingdom) rail network, so I suppose it is "wider picture" material.

I've gotten to be very familiar with the three letter codes (TLCs^▸ (three letter code )) for stations, so was surpised to see 4 digit codes used on tickets:

There seems to have been a software modification recently to STAR. The 10-digit number on the right would formerly have been displayed 2034o3410W34 instead of all bunched up together.

The four-digit National Location Code (NLC^▸ (National Location Code)) of the issuing station is next - the ticket office and TVMs^▸ (Ticket Vending Machine) at any given location seem to have different codes, e.g. 3115 for Oxford ticket office but 6254 for Oxford TVMs. The NLC is followed by a letter indicating the former BR^▸ (British Rail(ways)) region that controlled the issuing station (E for Eastern, H for Scottish, M for London Midland, S for Southern, W for Western). Last came the window number (with apologies to TJ for the repetition!)

And looking wider, there seem to be an awful lot of codes around ... all of these are for the same place / line:

3346 .. NLC (National Location Code)
75361 - Stanox^▸ (Station Number (5 digit code)) (Station Numbers)
MKM^» (Melksham (Station code) - next trains) - TLC (Three Letter Code)
MELKSHM - Tiploc^▸ (Timing Point Location) (Timing Point Locations)
GW523 - PRIDE^▸ (Possession Resource Information Database) code (Possession Resource Information Database)
WEY - ELR (Engineer's Line References)

Are there any major code groups I have missed out?

An excellent site listing 'em all and much more ...

D_M do you know the codes for weekend first?

There isn't one. However if you type PNZ - 1072 into Avantix, Weekend First comes up as a fare, and will display ^20. (you need to scroll to the far right)
