I got a nice idea from somewhere I don't recall, but it was a neat idea to use train stop names with rich text, as an example in the posted screenshot:
However, there is a limit to how much you can put into this name, probably because of the character limit. I propose increasing this limit so we can use a lot of rich text iconography in our train stop names.
Please increase train stop name character limit, for rich text purposes

Re: Please increase train stop name character limit, for rich text purposes
I have been using Rich Text icons extensively, and have not found a Useful Reason to have THAT many symbols in a Label (map tag, train station, platform name, interrupt name, etc)… Out of simple curiousity, what is this naming scheme meant to represent?
My train stations all use a format like: [Planet][Item][Quality][Number of Wagons][+ or -], which is a total of 5 icons.

I use Train Schedule Signals mod to setup my train routes. I sometimes have complicated stops that are both requesters and providers. The change in train stop length in 2.0 is causing issues. Regardless, the train stop length needs to be increased to a much much larger value.
