Welcome to the new version of European Tribune. It's just a new layout, so everything should work as before - please report bugs here.

The stopped trains on the right do indeed look like depot runs, although they look like intermediate stops (it's 50x accelerated so most trains stop only for a few minutes, and continue rather than reverse towards the station).

OTOH I think in-service trains stopping just outside a terminal station is near-unavoidable: when a departing and an arriving train stop at the same platform or their paths cross, a delay for the train scheduled to pass the 'exclusion zone' can delay the other. (Still, when I was in Gare St. Lazare, which by number of calling trains is like the busiest commuter rail station in the world, I don't remember seeing a single example.)
