Bidirectional trains seem to consider only current/last heading direction while doing station accessibility check for train stations UI list. This only affects station appearance in the train's UI - train is capable of reaching both stations just fine.

For example - in this setup there is two stations on both ends of a single rail track and a bidirectional train in the middle. Train is capable of moving between them in automatic mode just fine, yet the station that is currently "behind" is shown in red and tooltip on mouseover says "Station is not accessible from current position.".

This is a known feature of trains running in automatic mode (will not change direction without stopping at a station or being stuck in no path for a bit iirc). In this case the train is in manual, and it does seem like a bug. Does it do the same thing while waiting at one of the stations at the end of the track, or does the availability check allow reversing direction in that case but not when in manual mode?
