The tickets of UK train operators are perhaps not good examples to infer
common standards practice, because they deliberately print them with
highly creative *non-standard* conventions, to make fake tickets easier
to spot for their staff. For example, the 3-letter month abbreviations
seem to change from year to year, where "march" can be MAR, MCH, MRH,
MRC, etc.
