The native UI colours inaccessible stops red and also sorts them to the bottom of the list. This list should do similar.

When a stop is disabled (or has a train limit of 0), no trains are permitted to be dispatched to it. However, a train that is already at that stop is allowed to remain there.

When this mod makes a train scan train stops to check whether they are accessible, it does so by temporarily modifying its schedule. When it's done it removes the temporary stops it added and instructs the train to go to its previous destination. For a stopped train, this will be the station it is stopped at.

Because a train cannot be instructed to go to a stop that is disabled, if it was stopped at a disabled stop, it will enter a broken state where it waits for the stop that it is currently at to become enabled so that it can leave the stop and pathfind directly back to it. When the stop is enabled based on circuit behaviour this may not always be possible and risks deadlocking the network.

A fix should involve the scanning solution being changed to not touch a train's schedule at all. As a suggestion, a virtual train could be created at the same position as the current train, have the stops checked for accessibility, and then be destroyed. Alternatively, the base game's logic might already be exposed as an API that I missed.

There are quite a lot of rich text formats other than [item=...] that could be ordered:

Everything probably should be ordered according to their position in the circuit signal selector, if possible.

I hacked together some existing styles to make this list. I should probably just relent and implement my own custom data-level styles.

Unsure if this behaviour is consistent with the vanilla UI, will have to verify.

In my opinion, a train stop should be considered accessible if the train is able to path to it.

Condense duplicated train stops into one entry.

There should be a number to indicate how many stops were condensed.
