I%20Report%20May2011FR%20V2%2017012011.xls

That file refers to stations by NLC and name. e.g.
A A_Name B B_Name TimeAB TimeBA
580 Finsbury Park 6119 Finsbury Park 10 10
I believe that line should be
580 Finsbury Park 6119 Finsbury Park NR 10 10

[I've renamed the columns to fit in 72 characters]
What does NLC expand to?
Where can I find a set of them on the net?

There is a friendlier presentation of the information at
http://www.oyster-rail.org.uk/out-of-station-interchange-osi/

NLC stands for National Location Code (used by the railways, introduced by
BR in the 80's).

There's a number of places on the web that lists them, e.g....

(look for 'Railway Codes' - downloadable Excel file)
