Station Names and Locations

Every station has a unique name, like Birmingham New Street or Edinburgh Waverley. These names help you know exactly where you are going or where you need to be.

Postcodes for Finding Stations

The postcode is like a special address for the station. You can use it with online maps, like Multimap.com, to find the exact location of the station. This is helpful if you are walking or getting a ride to the station.

Codes for Train Times

Each station also has a short code, usually three letters. These codes are used by railway systems to identify stations quickly. You can use these codes on websites or apps to check when trains are arriving or departing from that station. For example, `BHM` for Birmingham New Street helps you find its train times.

Codes for Station Details

Some stations have another code that links to more detailed information about the station itself. This might include details about facilities, accessibility, or services available at the station. For example, `BHM` would link to information about Birmingham New Street station.
