How strange! When I posted, Welshman's post was not there. Gremlins at work here by the looks of it.

Oldham Werneth

Oldham Central was the station on the line between Oldham Mumps and Oldham Werneth. It was virtually next door to Oldham Clegg Street station that was on a different line.

Barton Moss

 

[Welshman]

When the first station at Barton Moss was closed in 1862, wasn't it replaced by a second station 0.75 miles to the east?

So I'll say Barton Moss No. 2

{and if you're counting these two as one, then I'll say Lambs Cottage}

With regard to their respective situations, we shall say that Barton Moss will count as one, so I shall accept your last posting as being Lambs Cottage

Kenyon Junction

Parkside There were 2 different sites, but less apart than Barton Moss so must count as one
And I think that's the last

We now move up to Scotland for the next journey

This quiz is number 47 so far.

The journey starts at the open station of Glasgow Central
It follows the line of the Glasgow and Paisley Joint Railway
It then follows the line of the Glasgow, Paisley, Kilmarnock and Ayr Railway
It then follows the line of the Ayr to Cumnock/Mauchline Branch
The journey ends at the closed station of Ayr

The first closed station on this journey is Glasgow Bridge Street

One of my maps/sources shows a closed station at Dalry Junction south of the current Dalry

If we are going to Mauchline I'd guess Dreghorn next - but I'm a bit lost as to which lines are which

You are correct...

Springside

Crosshouse

We are now on the other side of Kilmarnock on this line

Hurlford

HINT : When we eventually pass the Mauchline area in general, there seemed to be quite a mixture of junction routes (Mauchline Junction, Brackenhill Junction, Auchinleck Junction and Cronberry Junction) from the very old maps that I was using in the route planning of this particular quiz, to eventually arrive at the Mauchline to Ayr final section of this journey

but we are heading away from Ayr, not towards it????

Cronberry.....does this help?

This quiz was planned by me many years ago, when I was involved in setting some conundrums for a quiz panel and has only just come to light, so the freshness of its planning is lost in the depths of past history.
