Train overview should show warning on missing stations

In the train overview window you can currently see which stations a train is going to and whether any of those stations are enabled/disabled.
I would like to propose that the train overview window shows th same waning as the train window does.

Currently this warning is only available in the train window.

I made a mockup of what it would look like. Basically copied the style from the train window.

Why is this change useful?

Would allow one see mistakes in a train network fair easier simply by looking at the train overview window.
I had some trains in my network with a missing station. I only noticed because the missing station was the fuel station so they eventually ran out of fuel.
Currently the only way to check for this is to go through each train seperately which is not desirable.

Do you mean with “missing” stations, such stations that don’t have any train as scheduled target?

With missing i mean when a station doesn't exist anymore.
The information is already available by clicking on a train as seen in this image.

I would like this visual warning to also be displayed in the trains overview window. The last image from my first post shows a mockup of what that could look like.

Thanks, I didn’t see the hover-text in the screenshot, because the sun was shining on my tablet.
