Attenborough railway station serves Attenborough in Nottinghamshire, England. As of late 2009 Attenborough is a Penalty fare station when travelling on East Midlands Trains services and the Pertis machine must be used which is located on the Derby bound platform. ==History== Built as a halt known as Attenborough Gate in 1856 on the Midland Counties Railway line from Nottingham to Derby which had opened in 1839, the station opened next to a level crossing and tickets were bought from the crossing keeper. The station on the present site was built by the Midland Railway in 1864; the ''Gate'' suffix was dropped and the name became Attenborough. Becoming part of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway during the Grouping of 1923, the station then passed on to the London Midland Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948. During World War I that station had its platforms extended as it was used as an interchange for soldiers heading for Chetwynd Barracks. In April 1937 the station was renamed Chilwell, but this change was reverted in September 1937. The signal box survived until at least 1982 but is now demolished. When Sectorisation was introduced in the 1980s, the station was served by Regional Railways until the Privatisation of British Railways. It is an unstaffed station having lost its station buildings and staff in the early 1990s. Following a rebuild of the platforms in 2005 the station has no architectural remains from any earlier station except parts of the footbridge. The footbridge was replaced in 2007 receiving a new steel deck and stairways. The blue brick towers, which support the bridge, were retained. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Attenborough railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
