I'm trying to identify and geocode several train stations based on location codes that were supplied to me. Most of them take the form "CCSSS" where "CC" appears to be an abbreviation for a country (such as "GB" or "BE" or "US") and "SSS" appears to be a station code.
However, some of the station codes don't match either an IATA code, a British station code, or an Amtrak station code. Some of them are only three letters long. Some of them contain an "@" symbol. The full list is uploaded here. Interestingly, Google was able to identify "GBQQS" as St. Pancras when I searched for "QQS train station great britain".
How can I reliably identify these stations?
If it's relevant, I'm planning to geocode the stations using the Google Maps API.
