I notice that the station codes are gratuitously incompatible with the
ones NR use for their live departure boards - STR is Stratford or
Stranraer, depending on who you ask. They're also different to LU's own
signal box codes; AIUI, those don't cover every station, though, so
perhaps not surprising.

They're also incompatible with the station codes that NR use for LU
stations (which all have a Z prefix, such as ZFD for Farringdon, ZMG for
Moorgate, ZBB for Barbican).

Are those part of the same set of codes they use for their own stations?
So NR stations get STR, CHX, etc, whilst LU ones get Zxx? If so, i didn't
realise that system covered LU, and there's really no reason for the LU
system to have come up with its own codes.
