Train position options at Train Station

TL;DR
An option to allow trains to stop 1 space further at the train station.
What ?
Due to the odd numbered cart/locomotive on a train. It adds 7 spaces from the station. Since the stations are on a 2x2 grid overlayed on the normal grid. This makes opposite orientated trains not horizontally/vertically alligned. See picture:

So an option to change that allignment.
Why ?
I think it will be a small quality of life change. Especially for the OCD kind of people where they make something like in the picture. It would allow for more train size variations, not needing to choose even numbered length of trains. People who would follow the default 5 train spaces would not run into this allignment problem. And single direction trains will be slightly more viable in my opinion.

I agree that it is not good that train carriages have a length of 7 and therefore do not align to the grid.
This problem has already been discussed in the following thread:
