Thanks for the reply, I know what you mean, I thought it seemed a bit 
baffling!  The thing is, I have the same orders as those you wrote and 
that's why I can't understand what's going on.  If I put the big train in 
the Depot and just let the small one come and unload the Station window 
should say '<amount> tons of Iron Ore (en-route from <station name> 
Station)' but it doesn't, it just says the usual '<amount> tons of Iron 
Ore'.  Another thing I noticed is that when the big train loads with the 
Iron Ore en-route from the first station which, for instance, is called 
Gruntown South (I can't remember it's real name!) it actually says on the 
carriages window that the first few carriages are filled with Iron Ore that 
is actually from that station, and the rest fill up with Iron Ore from 
Gruntown South, which is when it gets rid of it all and makes money from 
nowhere!  It doesn't accept Iron Ore at that station so I don't know where 
it's going.  This is seeming more and more like a bug to me!

Thanks,

Jonty

P.S. sorry if I'm confusing everyone again!
