TL;DR

A button or a remote (like for the arty) to call a 'personal' train to the nearest rail.

What ?

Add a button or remote-control(like for the arty) for calling a train (by name) to the nearest rail without placing a station.

Why ?

i ( and i think most of users) have a personal train for traveling around and do all the personal work & carring all the needed things.

as i often need to send my personal train away ( to protect it, or want to avoid building additional rails to park it properly) but later on i want to travel again with it.
Currrently i need to walk/drive to the nearest rail place a station and call the train (or send it to a station which is further on the way, but then i need to watch it and control it manually in hope it will stop near)
After that the station do not have any purpose so dismatle it.

it seems thats cleary something what could be automated.
Either as remote control thingy or as a additional button in the train GUI

(The place of interest here is the bottom of the page where it talks about a "temporary stop.")

I think this is what you are looking for. They plan to release it in version 0.17.

ahhh yes

ok can be closed then

Edit : is there an overview whats the plan is for 0.17 and following to 1.0 ?

There is the roadmap, but that only has major features - the Friday facts showcases more of the small features, and they're quite interesting. 0.17 will probably become 1.0 after it's marked stable, but they also said that about 0.16, and 1.0 has supposedly been coming soon for a long time.
