I think z9999 buttons are the more consistens suggestion so far.

I would prefer z9999's suggestion, but with a 'duplicate backwards' button (instead of remove) and Isaac's X-buttons for deleting.

What about moving the "duplicate backwards" button to somewhere else (away from the "remove" button) so that we will not click on it by mistake?

| copy to a  |   | copy to new      |                  
|  new line  |   | line  backwards |

duplicate backwards is very useful for feeder bus lines (for my taste, the most annoying to set up), whereas it's nearly useless for trains as i mostly use two tracks railways.

I think it should moved from its actual position or either have a confirmation/undo option. The best would be both of them.

Long time no post here... :-X

I'd go for the undo button.

Not completely off-topic, there have been some cases in wich I'd definitely like to use the button, but it would give me problems with my network. With long buses that use 2 tiles for example. A bus doesn't move on to the end of a long station like a train, but instead stops at the exact point ****igned. If you have stops of 2 tiles long, using the duplicate backwards button causes the bus to stop at the wrong place, like this:

Code: [Select]
------------{----------}{----------}------------
[__________][__________]    -->       Back 
    <--    [__________][__________] Forth
------------{----------}{----------}------------
Code: [Select]
{----------} = 1 station tile
[__________] = 1 vehicle tile

When going back, it uses the exact same tile, wich causes the second car to be unused. Therefore, the way back has to be ****igned manually because it uses different tiles.
