Farnham railway station serves the town of Farnham in Surrey, England.
Train services are provided by South Western Railway, with direct trains running to Guildford, Aldershot, Alton, Woking, Surbiton, Clapham Junction and London Waterloo.
Trains are formed of Class 450 electric multiple units. Steam trains and freight trains are seen quite often, travelling from/to the Watercress Line and Holybourne oil terminal.
There is a buffet in the booking hall selling newspapers, hot and cold beverages, confectionery, snacks, hot food and tobacco products.
Immediately to the north of the station, the railway crosses Station Hill, the B3001, via a level crossing,[1] one of the most misused crossings in the Network Rail Wessex Region.[2] The station car park has been expanded with the addition of a dual level car park facility, including better lighting, security cameras and improved entrance.[3]
