Is there any difference, on the F2 screen, between "Stopped at X (delayed)" and "Delayed at X"? Not a vital issue, but something I've noticed and was curious about.

Could be wrong but would "Stopped at X (delayed)" mean it is running late and "Delayed at X" mean it is delayed due to some reason (i.e: Driver needing toilet, "Wrong kind of food trolley", etc).

I think that's right - the former means it was delayed before arrival (and hence may/will depart late?).

I've had a quick look at the code but I can't work out the difference - it's late and I'm tired.

If I'm reading the code correctly, then "Stopped at X (delayed)" can only happen at the first station after the train enters the simulation and is displayed if the train entered with a delay of more than 2 minutes. "Delayed at" means the train is suffering from the wrong kind of food trolley etc.

Presumably "first station after the train enters the simulation" would include a station where a train changes identity within the simulation having arrived there more than 2 minutes late, since as far as the sim is concerned that is the first station that it has stopped at.

No, it's explicitly testing for entering the simulation.
