This is one of those areas where a bit of care in the wording would help to reassure passengers when an issue has already arisen! Understand that passengers won't know the exact arrival time, might be worried about this, and might not even realise the stop order is there and be waiting around for a later trian, and reassure that it will be a mandatory stop.
"This is due to the train making extra stops"... more to the point, it is the making of extra stops! I sort of accept that template wording won't always be great but still reads strangely!

There needs to be a 'thumbs up' icon/smiley.....yes.

Where a train is cancelled, it makes sense to put in a "stop order" on a subsequent train to provide an alternative service
I'm noticing that where a train that calls only on request is cancelled, the stop orders seem to turn it into a mandated, compulsory stop on the following train? Use of the word "will" rather than "may". Is that to re-assure waiting passengers who may no longer have a timetable reference for the train coming and may not notice it in time to signal to the driver?
10:48 Liskeard to Looe due 11:16 will call additionally at St Keyne Wishing Well Halt, Causeland and Sandplace.
This is due to the train making extra stops because a train was cancelled.
