I may have the wrong end of the stick here: but it would seem to me that to get (briefly) on to the LYR's Manchester & Leeds line, and thence on to its Pickle Bridge line -- we needed to reverse at Bradley and gain LYR metals; next station would be the southernmost on the Pickle Bridge line, Clifton Road.

Not being able to find out where Dudley Hill (1st station) was...

(Just) on the direct GNR line Dudley Hill (2nd and more prominent) -- Low Moor: Dudley Hill (1st) is avoided by our route. This is, once more, per Dewick's Complete Atlas of Railway Station Names...
