I don't know if this has ever been suggested before, but could the Show Timetable popup be altered so that it shows which direction a train is currently facing? As in, Up or Down.

When playing certain timetables, such as Carlisle 79/80, there are lots of instances where trains go to through sidings and divide. Sometimes they sit there for a while before dividing. Sometimes they have an attachment, and THEN divide, such as when splitting off an engine. But in order to know which end of the train the engine will divide, you need to know which way the train is facing. The only way to do this at the moment is to go to the F2 window and work it out from there.

It would be much more convenient if, when clicking a train's headcode, you can see which way the train is facing in the timetable popup, as it's easy to forget which way a train arrived somewhere if you're busy elsewhere.

Mantis 41623. I'd probably show it in the Characteristics box.
