And is it possible to add support for version without signals in tunnels path?

I tried a tile that stretches out over 2 tiles, but it starts to glitch at that distance, and the signals poke out too:

Fortunately, even without the signals in tunnels patch you can build these stations as long as you use path-based signals. Trains will wait at the nearest safe point, so if there is a signal at the other ends of the tunnels it would work fairly well. Also, with the 2CC metro trains quite a lot people can be transported with only a few trains:

Not perfect, but it still allows for 4 trains (more possibly) to run on that bit of track, with 1 down-town small-footprint station.

Edit
It would need two more tiles to cover the SW tunnel entrance.

I can also place signals on diagonals parts.

This concept works fairly well. There are a few graphical glitches due to the fake park tiles conflicting with the street lights. If instead of roads houses are used this glitch becomes very obvious. You can see the street light disappearing at Getminster South.

In the future the fake extended tile hack may become redundant if it becomes possible to do more with tunnel entrance graphics from within the NewGRF. Still in any case, tips to prevent those little glitches from occurring are more than welcome.

And for future reference, the NFO, PCX and GRF.

Just wondering if we're going to see stations and tiles to cover SW/SE as well.

that is not possible, due to the way tiles are drawn

Ah, after some playing around, yes, I see what you're saying. Then what is needed are longer tiles, ones that extend diagonally. Supermop implemented such a plan when he recently developed his Modular Sheds.

Making it usable by roads is impossible right now.

You could build a bridge over the station depression - I don't know if the park tiles would adjoin it nicely - perhaps some special bridge sprites?

Short answer: No.
Long answer: Not with unmodified build (afaik).

so currently does it have any trees over it, or is it just a plain piece of grass...?
EDIT: Don't answer, I'll test it out first :))
EDIT: ok, it's just grass, cool enough
Check out some of my work

I was thinking that you'd build over the gap in front and behind the station where the signals are
