There is a public car park for Sommerfield surrounding the station so there is no shortage of parking.
There is an hourly service from Derby to Belper operated by Central Trains. There is also the Morning service from Barnsley and Sheffield.
There is no shortage of chip shops and bars in the immediate area. It’s right next to the high street. There is plenty of things to do other than stay at the station.
The railway runs under the town as apposed to straight through or round it, this means the station is in a cutting. The rail is on a natural cant, which also helps with the effect on you photos. Because of the blind corner some trains do sound their horns when approaching the platform.
