In Sydney, many stops display the stop number but I'm not sure if we have another source for this data - in NSW, the convention is that the first four numbers are the postcode of the suburb. So all stops in Strathfield would have a 6 or 7 digit number with the first four digits being the postcode for the suburb. For example stands A to D at Strathfield have their numbers included in OSM with the tag "local_ref="
