[2018] Implicit Orders Bug for Trains ?

[RLS0812]

I have "open loop" train system that has been running for almost 200 in-game years.
All stations are on a branch line, separated from the main loop, & all stations have a bypass line.
I have noticed that almost all my trains have a lot of "implicit orders", despite the face there are clear paths to their destinations without any stations in their way. The worst one had 46 implicit orders tacked on to it's original 2 explicit orders.

The wiki claims that these implicit orders go away, however I have been watching my trains ignoring clear routs, and going to the wrong stations over and over again.

Are you sure those "clear routes" are actually available routes for trains? So if you remove the entry to a station, does the train go around it, or does it get lost?

implicit orders may come from trains going to depot, and skipping stations on the way

I'm not sure if this is related, but I had a road vehicle with an implicit order to pass through a town station on its way to the destination station to deliver food.

The problem was that the vehicle delivered its food to the implicit station, and was empty when it got to the destination station. I don't think this is right, at least with my expectation of "implicit."

My solution was to replace the implicit order with a non-stop via order. This prevented the implicit order from being generated, and the vehicle did not drop its load at the interim station.
