It wouldn't replicate from an earlier save and as I know that people are busy testing and developing new sims, is there any point in investigating this?

It actually happened a second time but I ignored it.

I have provided a saved game even though NNCS probably won't appear and some more information.

Online 		The stopping position of NX-250 is the clue here. This will make the train stop 250m short of the platform and reverse from that point

That explains it then. It was a shunt move. Didn't realise that it would do that though.
