Sadly, it does not seem to detail London Underground stations which
are not also National Rail Stations. It does not even mention
Barking, so is even less complete than I thought. (I was interested
in the codes for the several Paddington stations.) I just found:
3087 Paddington London


If you download it as an Excel spreadsheet it separates the LUL and NR
stations into separate tabs - including Barking (0501) and Paddington
(0670)

When I tried again, I saw as you did. Thanks for the help.
The downloaded document consists of the following sheets: LUL-DR Station
NLCs; NR Station NLCs; Station Group NLCs and Sundry CAPRI codes.
The "default" sheet is NR Station NLCs.

What is a Station Group? Groups like:
Code Group Name Stations included
0254 Colchester Stations 6861 Colchester 6853 Colchester Town
make sense, but the following makes little to me:
0255 Edinburgh Br
I am surprised Edinburgh BR does not, at least, have members Haymarket
and Waverley.

Sundry CAPRI codes includes things I understand like:
0020 Lul Thru Tickets
0032 Zone R12 London
and others I don't and probably don't need to, such as
0077 Spte Zone 1 Juv

Station groups are literally stations grouped together for ticketing
purposes - London Terminals, Catford Stations etc.

"Edinburgh BR" will be the old name for "Edinburgh Stations" when good
old bad old BR was still about, and it does include Haymarket and
Waverley - for whatever reason the spreadsheet doesn't spell out all
the members of each group, only of some.

Strathclyde Passenger Transport (aka Strathclyde Partnership for
Transport) Zone 1 Juvenile, I would have thought. No idea what a CAPRI
code is.

P.S. Don't spend too long with Excel or you might go mad.
