Default Station Code Game

All railway stations in Great Britain have three letter alpha codes.

They can be listed on timetables, departure boards, station information services and used on the online journey planners.

For example, if I was to type LET into the FCC journey planner it would come up with Letchworth Garden City.

Therefore, the objective of this quiz is to guess the stations code.

In the words of compare the meerkat, simples.

The rules are as follows

1) The code must be from a station in Great Britain.

2) You may only post a new code if you get the previous code (unless somebody passes on their turn). It must be in capital letters.

3) The code has to be the proper station one as listed by National Rail. You can't just make it up as you go along.

4) You cannot use any website to decipher codes, this is cheating. However, if you are stuck to find a station code to post on your own turn, you may.

I shall start with a nice easy one.
