* Unallocated one-letter station codes of the Indian Railways include A, B, C, D, E, F, I, H, K, L, N, P, Q, T, U, W, X and Z.
 
In England, Scotland and Wales of the UK, railway stations are assigned three-letter codes and are issued by National Rail and are called the Computer Reservation System (CRS), this is not the case in Northern Ireland.<ref name=":1" /> In [[ScandinaviaSweden]] and [[Denmark]], railway stations are assigned a capital letter followed by a sequence of lowercase letters that represent the station's name. For example, [[Stockholm commuter rail]]'s [[Stockholm City Station]] has the station code Sci. [[Deutsche Bahn]] in Germany uses an alphabetic station code system called the ''DS 100 code'', for example, [[Luckenwalde station]] in [[Brandenburg]] has the station code BLD.<ref>{{Cite web |author-link=Deutsche Bahn |date=August 2015 |title=Übersicht der Betriebsstellen und deren Abkürzungen aus der Richtlinie 100 |url=https://fahrweg.dbnetze.com/resource/blob/1359908/f9d782b88f2c1224ac1192e2d4b5f6ff/betriebsstellen-data.pdf |website=Deutsche Bahn AG |language=German}}</ref> In [[South Korea]], station codes are purely numeric, to reduce the problem of [[language]] and [[writing system]] barriers. For example, [[Seoul Metropolitan Subway]]'s [[Singeumho station]] has the code of 538.<ref>{{Cite web |date=10 October 2022 |title=Metro Lines in Seoul |url=https://www.koreaorlmeeting.org/workshop/2020spring/file/Metro%20Lines%20in%20Seoul.pdf |website=KORL}}</ref>
