next comes the platform tracklaying

have a good one,wel be working down there tommorow on some signalling,see you around!

My next question about the fence is WHY?
As Peak Rail is planning on running into Matlock Station the fence is either a Red Herring or a White Elephant

I have attached 2 photo's the first is Matlock Station showing a buffer stop at the end of the track at present and the second is a view from the Station towards the bridge where the buffer stop and fence are

The Fence does seem to say this is where YOU are staying and by the track being disconnected and slewed seem to me to a definite imposition of an obstacle especially as when I first visited the tracks were bolted togehter
