There is a new property on Wikidata, P4755, for UK railway station codes (e.g. BNS for Birmingham New Street):, as used by many ticket-booking and live-timetable websites.
Now just 72 stations lack their station code on Wikidata:
https://petscan.wmflabs.org/?language=en&project=wikipedia&depth=3&a...
compared to over 2,500 that have them.
Please help to add the last few.
It looks as complete as we're going to get it.
Had a quick look through the list, and it would appear the majority of these remaining stations are in Northern Ireland.
To my knowledge, Northern Ireland stations don't use the National/Network Rail codes system so it might be a bit hard to clear that list (The NI Railways page says they have 54 stations) and I can't seem to find any reference of any similar system existing for NI. There are a few station groups which, AFAIK, don't hold codes - they're certainly not on the National Rail published list. Same applies to the Tube stations in there, and the few proposed stations.

Not to get too far off-topic, Andy, but Birmingham New Street is actually BHM. BNS is Barnes in south London. You might consider asking at Wikproject UK Railways on the English Wikipedia - I've found he folks there to be knowledgeable and helpful in the past.

Yes; I think the job's pretty much done, now. Until the codes for Crossrail stations are announced...
Personally I would've preferred to use P296 (station code) + P972 (catalog) which would've dealt with the problem of London Underground and National Rail having different station codes in some cases. But bespoke properties for specific catalogs aren't a bad thing either...
