The National Fares Manual includes a 3-letter code next to each fare to

being set by "DBA" (not sure who that is). But the NLL ones you quote
are shown as being set by STS (Silverlink). So it does indeed seem to
be an exception.

I think DBA probably stands for Database Administrator, and appears on
all the fares set by TfL rather than a TOC.

I doubt it stands for that, but that's surely what it means. I'd guess
something like Direct Basis Arrangement, or some other obscure term for
the deal under which TfL got to set the fares. DfT Binding Agreement?

Alternatively, it could be my dad, since those are his initials. Unlikely,
though.
