Bug: Trains entering from Church Fenton change headcode 28/03/2025 at 14:27 #160729

I'm playing the 1991 timetable on West Yorkshire, and at first I was very confused.

Trains were entering at Church Fenton with one headcode appearing in the "APPR" box, but once actually in the sim I noticed the headcode had changed.

After some observation, I've noticed that the headcode changes to the headcode of the following train.

Example from the attached save:
* 7Z13 enters and is displayed in APPR box at 06:32.
* Headcode in the APPR box changes to 6M58
* Headcode steps into area, after a second or so
* Now I have a train entering with the headcode of the train behind it.

You can see this happen from the attached screen recording, and also from the screenshot note that 6M58 is not even an active train at this time.

From this screenshot, note that 6M58 has now entered, but the headcode immediately changed to 7K82, which again is the train behind it.

Thanks for this - Mantis 42041 for investigation.
