I think that after this we should have reversed at the open station of Bewdley to access the Tenbury and Bewdley Railway. If that's right then the next station is:
Wyre Forest

Have I gone the wrong way?
Just heading to bed now but I’ll strike my post through in the morning if it’s wrong.

General point of interest:-
After LINLEY HALT, up to the open station of Bewdley where we reversed, there was a closed station called ALVELEY HALT which was opened in 1944 and closed in 1963.

Hafod (1st station - 1861 to 1892)
There was a direct link (I think called the Common Branch) from Llantrisant Common Junction on the EVR to Common Branch Junction on the L&TVJR which avoided reversal at the open station of Llantrisant and bypassed the closed station of Cross Inn, so I think the route taken was OK although it may not have been that intended.
