History[edit]

The Glasgow & South Western Railways extended the line from Ardrossan (Holm Junction) to West Kilbride in March 1878 for goods trains and created a triangular junction with the existing line at Ardrossan and joined at Castlehill Junction and a new junction was created called Parkhouse Junction and the other apex was Holm Junction.

Passenger trains ran to Ardrossan and reversed there to continue to West Kilbride until South Beach station was opened in 1883.

There was also a signal box situated just north of the junction and it closed on 26th April 1953, the day of the Parkhouse Bridge Collapse.
