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!)
