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?

how about:

[Duplicate Backwards]
-- empty space --
| copy to a  |   | copy to new      |                  
|  new line  |   | line  backwards |
-- empty space --
[add        ]  [  insert  ]  [replace]

on top.

and then for each stop

|>  Stop Name [^] [V][X]

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 assigned. If you have stops of 2 tiles long, using the duplicate backwards button causes the bus to stop at the wrong place, like this:

------------{----------}{----------}------------
[__________][__________]    -->       Back
   <--    [__________][__________] Forth
------------{----------}{----------}------------

{----------} = 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 assigned manually because it uses different tiles.

(Bad english :-[)

the duplicate backwards button is likely getting obsolete anyway:
