FAQ Suggestion: List of Common Abbreviations?
Can I suggest a Glossary section be added to the FAQ for this group
explaining the meaning of the abbreviations used here? For example, the earlier thread entitled "LM penalty fares scheme: New Oyster Bizarrity" (Message-ID: ) the following abbreviations were used with no explanation, meaning I couldn't make head nor tail of the message: LM, RP, OEP, NR, NRCoC, PF Some are guessable, and some I recognise from reading other posts or can work out from context, but I'm still none the wiser as to what LM and RP stand for. The FAQ did enlighten me on PF = Penalty Fare, but none of the others were given. And this is just from one thread, so I think a section in the FAQ explaining what they all mean would be useful for the uninitiated. Just a thought. |

I just Googled for "uk.transport.london faq" and turned up: http://www.faqs.org/faqs/uk/transpor.../preamble.html Looks like a fair while since the last update, so I guess it's no-longer being actively maintained. Is Mr. Barry Salter here? |
