[UI] Length of the sation is missing

[luk3Z]

Currently there is no information about length of the stations.
We know the length of the train in depot but if we have big stations we have to count tiles manually to find out how big station is.

Well, what's the length of this train station?

Well... it's rather complicated.
But if we divide it logically into 3 there could be: 1A, 1B & 1C.
Treat that as hard disk with partitions: primary and logicals.
Anyway that means new "station order" (mechanism).

i'd not make it this complicated. just give a range (shortest platform)-(longest platform)

[odisseus]

just give a range (shortest platform)-(longest platform)

Such information would be rather useless, especially if the station has unreachable platforms (for station walking or just for decoration). The range of platform lengths is insufficient to determine if a particular train can access a platform that is long enough.

there's no way in the world to present the kind of information you are asking for in that window.
