Barleith

Sorry to say, but whilst there indeed was a Barlieth station on the Darvel branch line, it then led off from there to the Glasgow, Paisley, Kilmarnock and Ayr Railway, which is not on this particular journey. After passing through Galston station, but before Barleith station was reached, there was a junction that took the line towards the next line on this quiz.....The Kilmarnock and Troon railway. On that line, there was one closed station, then a link line that went into Kilmarnock, where the Glasgow, Barrhead and Kilmarnock Joint Railway commenced.
