I believe we have two options, and I am going to chose the one with two more stations!

Sorry, I missed that, working through a malformed line diagram on my phone, but I can now, from the computer see it as South Shore!

I will now post Gillett's Crossing Halt

I think we may have missed our turning after Withins Lane, where we whould have taken the former L&YR Radcliffe to Bolton line, which would make the next station after Withins Lane that at:

Ainsworth Road Halt
