Glad you liked it. I only did that for a laugh really...

It would be possible, but as far as I remember I might need to add some
extra data to each station's internal representation (distance from
start point). Could be fettled with other methods. I could sort
something out (have just got a new job with much more free time), but
how many people would like this feature? There'd probably need to be
some fettling of the graphical display bit as well...
