Just been updated to the latest version and while it's generally great (especially the more annoying bug fixes) I must say I'm not a big fan of the new train stop UI. I'm sure the changes are intentional and not a bug (hence not putting this in bug reports), but it does seem to have taken a step back in usability.
For a start you can now no longer see more than 3 trains at once, you have to scroll. It'd be nice if you could resize the window, as it seems very small, especially on a large monitor.

Secondly you can only now see the current status of each train - previously you could see the entire route, which made it easy to keep track when you had multiple trains with different origins/destinations serving the stop.

Was just wondering if anyone else'd found this a frustrating change, or whether it's just me?

Have you looked at the train menu? (Not the station menu, but the rail icon by the minimap )

I guess it's just something one needs a bit of time to get used to.
I use the Train icon on the right top now a lot more than before and I'm quite happy with the changes.

I've made it a bit bigger, should try to show at least 2 rows now, but its still limited by monitor size

Have you tried the larger train overview GUI? It has a list of all the routes on the side, so you can easily differentiate and keep track

The overview UI is nice - I hadn't spotted that yet - will have to explore! And thanks for looking at the window height.
