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.


What does FAQ stand for?


:-)
And where is it, and who maintains it?


I just Googled for "uk.transport.london faq" and turned up:
http://www.faqs.org/faqs/uk/transpor.../preamble.html

Looks like a fair while since the last update, so I guess it's no-longer
being actively maintained.

Is Mr. Barry Salter here?
