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'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.

"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.
