Description
This is the junction between the Newcraighall North Junction to Monktonhall Junction route through the former Millerhill Yard and the Millerhill EGIP Depot, built partly on the site of the Millerhill MPD and the Millerhill Yard Up Sorting Sidings.
Originally this junction provided a shortcut to the south end of Millerhill Yard Up Sorting Sidings (and Millerhill MPD without having to pass through the Millerhill Yard Up Arrival Sidings. This provided an alternative route to that via Wanton Walls Junction [1st] to Monktonhall Junction. In addition in later years of the year this was the arrival route for trains to the up sidings which would then reverse from Millerhill West Junction.
