What station were those pictures taken at? Derby?

Does appear so yes. Footbridge is always a give away on Derby Midland pics.

I've never been north of Brum, so I wouldn't know.

Derby doesn't look much of a place (no offence to alex2008)!

Don't worry Alex2008, Swansea's not much to write home about either trust me.

Apart from letting people get away from the place easily !

*Tries to Defend Derby*

Erm... We've got 6 Platforms! And The Fragonset base is only a stone's throw away from the station!

*The Victoria opposite the station, great live venue
*The top chippy, again opposite the station
*The fact that trentbarton are one of the main bus operators in the city
*The San Fran LRV and network rail odds and sods on Derby depot
*Proximity to the Peak District (And High Peak railway + Peak line)
*Within a drunken train stumble of Notts, Brum and Sheffield
*Markeaton park and the little train

Some happy memories in Derby, nice to see it's going places as well.
