This tag is used on railway stations (railway=station), and other places relevant to rail ticketing and operation within Britain on the National Railway network to indicate the railway station code. It is a public facing code which allows customers to check train times & plan journeys via websites.

Places having a CRS code include all National Rail stations, and other rail-ticketable locations like Luton Airport, most London Underground stations (starting with Z), some overseas rail stations, etc. Some non-passenger locations, like depots and sidings, also have CRS codes (starting with X) as well.

There are some railway stations which have distinct sub-stations (such as a separate high-level and a low-level station). In this case, the separate sub-stations may have an internal CRS code. This should also be put in the ref:crs=* tag as well. Examples include London Paddington (ref:crs=PAD) and Paddington Crossrail (ref:crs=PDX) used for operational purposes., although the latter isn't used in journey planning and ticketing.
