The station was renamed
Chilwell in 1937 but the LMS (who owned the station by then) reverted back to the original name after a couple of months following a petition by local residents.
Attenborough is an unstaffed station with a level crossing at the Derby end of the two platforms. Little of the original station now remains following rebuilding of the station in recent decades, nowadays the station has the usual collection of bus shelters and signage. Interchange between the platforms is via the level crossing or a footbridge. The station is managed by East Midlands Railway.
