Bit of a shame if you wanted Wembley Park tho.

At a wild guess, I'd say that's on
http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tube/travelinfo/eta/jubilee-station-view.asp?StationCode=WEP.
The station name appears as a separate bit on the end of the URL
(sorry, don't know the technical term), so you can confuse people if
you want to, like this:

http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tube/travelinfo/eta/jubilee-station-view.asp?StationCode=STA&StationName=Wagga%20Wagga

I'd call that a query parameter, although i can't find a citation for that
in the standards anywhere just now.

This is what we call a Widdecombe, after:

For many, many more.

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.
