Default FAQ Suggestion: List of Common Abbreviations?

In message

Can I suggest a Glossary section be added to the FAQ for this group
explaining the meaning of the abbreviations used here?

For example, the earlier thread entitled "LM penalty fares scheme: New
Oyster Bizarrity" (Message-ID:
) the
following abbreviations were used with no explanation, meaning I couldn't
make head nor tail of the message:

LM, RP, OEP, NR, NRCoC, PF

Some are guessable, and some I recognise from reading other posts or can
work out from context, but I'm still none the wiser as to what LM and RP
stand for. The FAQ did enlighten me on PF = Penalty Fare, but none of the
others were given.

And this is just from one thread, so I think a section in the FAQ
explaining what they all mean would be useful for the uninitiated.

Just a thought.


London Midland
Revenue Protection
Oyster Extension Permit (discussed here at interminable length!)
National Rail
National Rail Conditions of Carriage
Penalty Fare

What do I win?
