While passing by Costa at the hotel on Waverley Street my phone rang at the same time I spotted these three fellows on a Stag Night Out.

Needless to say my ring tone was rather apt. Shania Twain's song, Man...I Feel Like A Woman.

I kid you not.

Matlock Bath railway station is a station owned by Network Rail and managed by East Midlands Trains Train operating company. It is located in the village of Matlock Bath in Derbyshire, England.

The station is located on the Derwent Valley Line 26 km (16¼ miles) north of Derby towards Matlock.

Opened by the Manchester, Buxton, Matlock and Midlands Junction Railway in 1849 it is conveniently located in the centre of the village. The station buildings are in unusual 'chalet' style, inspired by the romantic notion that the resort was England's Little Switzerland.

At night the platform is lit by small hanging lamps
