It is one of three stations in the town; the others, Farnborough North and North Camp, are both situated on the North Downs Line. The station is usually known as Farnborough (Main) in order to distinguish it from Farnborough North, including by National Rail[1] and South Western Railway,[2] although it is often signposted simply as Farnborough.
The station is located 33 miles 17 chains (53.5 km) from London Waterloo[note 1] and is situated between Brookwood and Fleet.
