Summary
The uic_ref tag is used for railway stations. It is similar to the ICAO and IATA reference tag for airports. The UIC station reference always consists of 7 digits, beginning with a 2-digit UIC country code. Numbers of different length do not belong to the UIC system, they are used e.g. in the HAFAS system to identify bus stops.
How to Tag
just add the attribute uic_ref followed by the station number.
uic_ref=number
International relevance
UIC ids are used by railway operators to refer to railway stations in Europe.
NB: A UIC id can be a IBNR, but not every IBNR is an UIC id!
