NX Garage short codes

[Stu]

Can anyone confirm if the 'official' list of garage short-codes is as follows?

AG - Acocks Green
BC - Birmingham Central
BY - Bordesley Green
CV - Coventry
PB - Perry Barr
PE - Pensnett
WA - Walsall
WB - West Bromwich
WN - Wolverhampton
YW - Yardley Wood

I only ask, because several people keep referring to Pensnett as 'PN' and Wolverhampton as 'PL', however Tony's fleetlists show the garage codes as above, and other websites do also. (And I like to think that Tony's judgement is indeed correct!)

I suppose to satisfy my pedant curiosity I could just travel around and buy a cash ticket from a bus from every garage, but I just thought this might save me some money instead!  ;)

Stu,

Pensnett garage do use PN as the garage code on their tickets, but as Tony's Fleetlists still show PE, I suspect that HQ still view Pensentt's code as PE?

I usually call Wolverhampton Garage WN but sometimes just use PL

I take it PL stands for 'Park Lane'

Have the garages always had these short codes ? probably asking a silly question  :-\

Garage codes have certainly been used for many years. In the past you has the likes of SO, CE, HE, QN, OY, DY, HL, SN, SE, S, H.... I could go on. Sadly all now long gone.

Coventry used to be WT (Wheatley Street) but was changed to CV to reflect the city, rather than the specific street location.
