I to had problems with deleting stations.  But got the hang of it. it is
tricky finding the right spot for deleting.

I have noticed that when you renew or upgrade a vehicle that it looses what
ever it was carrying.  So I stop the vehicle just before entering a station
give it full unload.  Then renew the vehicle after the unloading.  You can
stop the vehicle anywhere that is a nice touch.  Also use the stop vehicle
to remove a crashed vehicle.
