If the station runs North-South it seems to work works fine; it only seems to affect stations that run East-West (ie. bottom left to top right), and just to make it really complicated, it varies with the length of the station! If you try to change part of the existing station with platforms 11 squares long, it works whenever at least some part of the area you are changing is at least 10 squares from the edge of the map (I know I said 'cursor' earlier: that's because I was trying to modify one block at a time, and didn't test it thoroughly...) If the area of the station I'm rebuilding is wholly within ten squares of the edge I get a 'Can't build Railway Station here. Too close to another Railway Station' message. If the station is, say, 7 platforms long, you can rebuild pieces closer to the edge of the map, but too close and you get the 'Can't build...' message again (I didn't count how close though: it's too early in the morning. If this doesn't make sense and you want me to do more testing when I'm awake let me know!) -- Neil Sunderland Braunton, Devon Please observe the Reply-To address
