But I did need to be here, so it can't have been too much in the middle of nowhere. Unlike some other stations on busier lines, there is a "last train of the night" here, so you'll want to check the schedule before just showing up. Plenty of parking for the area. Well lit and well marked, I was able to figure out where I was and walk off in the right direction. Past a horse in a pasture. He was very friendly!

Farnborough Main is the principal station for Farnborough, located on the main line from London to…read moreSouthampton. This name is to differentiate it from Farnborough North and North Camp (both on the line from Guildford to Reading). The station was opened in 1838 and retains attractive Victorian buildings on the main platform (on the Southampton side). The building on the London bound platform dates from the early 1900s. It is the major station between Woking and Basingstoke. The off-peak service normally comprises 4 trains an hour to Waterloo, and 4 to Basingstoke, two of which continue onwards, one to Poole via Southampton and one to Portsmouth Harbour via Eastleigh. It is a major commuting point, used by over 3 million passengers each year. It is particularly busy during the biannual air show. The station has a staffed ticket office, large multi storey car park, cycle racks, a taxi rank, small shop and bus stands for connecting buses to Aldershot and Frimley Park. It also has level access to all platforms, via lifts.

Opened in 1845 on the line to Portsmouth, additional lines were built to Reading and Reigate in 1849, Horsham in 1865 (subsequently closed) and the 'New Guildford Line' to London via Epsom or Cobham in 1885. The station was rebuilt in 1880, but has always had a reputation as being grimy and in need of refurbishment. New buildings were provided in the late 1980s, as well as new platform canopies and, whilst they are not particularly inspiring as architecture, they are at least clean and bright. The Portsmouth line continues to provide the main service of fast and semi-fast trains into London (4 per hour), supplemented by slower half-hourly services via Epsom and Cobham, and regular services to Redhill, Gatwick Airport, Reading, Ascot. There are also less frequent long-distance cross-country trains to Birmingham and Manchester. There are two entrances: the main (east) entrance onto the Station Approach is best for the town centre, museum and castle, whereas Guildford Park Road entrance (via the footbridge) is better for the Cathedral and University of Surrey. Facilities include a travel centre, ticket office, car-park, car rental (Hertz), cash-point, taxi rank, bus interchange, cycle storage, café, W H Smiths, and disabled toilets. There is step-free access between the platforms, and from the main entrance (but not from the Guildford Park Road entrance).

Although the line through Brookwood was opened as early as 1839, it was the establishment of Brookwood Cemetery as an overspill cemetery for London in 1852 that developed the area: the cemetery was provided with two stations of its own on a short branch line, with daily trains from the Necropolis Station (adjacent to London Waterloo) carrying coffins and mourners. In 1864 the then London & South Western Railway opened a station on the main line to serve the village and visitors to the cemetery. The station was rebuilt in 1904 when the line was quadrupled, and provided with the rather grand brick buildings that still survive. Today, it is a busy commuter station, with a large car park and cycle storage, though it is not staffed all day (the ticket office is open until 13:00 during the week, until mid afternoon on Saturday, and the ticket office is closed on Sunday). When the ticket office is open, there are toilets on platform 1. The Monday-Saturday service is 4 trains an hour to London Waterloo, and 2 trains each to Alton and Basingstoke. On Sundays, there is an hourly service to each of Alton and Basingstoke until the middle of the day, when it increases to half hourly. In the the London direction, trains from Basingstoke and Alton call a few minutes apart and combine into a single service at Woking, so there is in effect an hourly service to London in the mornings and a half hourly service in the afternoon and evening. Note that level access is available only to platform 1 (from Basingstoke/Alton, to London). There are steps to platform 2. (Woking station, 4 miles away, is fully accessible, as is Farnborough.)

The station itself is fairly minimal, with largely open platforms that are exposed to the elements and a few metal benches are available.

There are a few automated ticket machines at the station for when there are no members of staff available. There are few other facilities available at this station - for coffee shops and snacks, Woking station is invariably better.

The railway station is a major stop on the lines from Waterloo to Portsmouth and Southampton,…read moreforming the junction where the two lines split. It is used by around 8 million passengers a year, making it one of the busiest in the south-east. Opened originally as Woking Common in 1838, most of the present buildings date from a significant rebuilding by the southern railway in the 1930s. This includes the station signal box, and its southern facade, both in the art deco style. The station has six platforms: four through platforms on the main lines; a bay platform for the stopping service from Waterloo which terminates here, and a bay platform at the Guildford end, used for early morning services to Portsmouth which start from here. Southbound services operate to Alton, Weymouth, Basingstoke, Haslemere, Exeter St David's, Portsmouth Harbour and Salisbury. There is also an hourly bus link to Heathrow Airport. The station has entrances on both the north and southern sides, and lifts provide access to all platforms for those who need level access. There are also small buffets selling drinks and light refreshments. The main ticket office is on the southern side, and there is also a cash machine. The station has over 750 bicycle parking spaces in a secure compound; and a carpark with 570 spaces, which is open 24 hours a day. There is also a taxi rank.

The station was opened in 1838 as the temporary terminus of the London and Southampton Railway, initially called Shapley Heath. The line was opened to Basingstoke the following year and through to Southampton in 1840. The station also gained its current name, Winchfield, at around the same time. The station today has two platforms, situated on the outer "slow" lines. The centre two "fast" lines are for through trains, which pass at speed. The station is served by the Basingstoke to London Waterloo service, running every 30 minutes Monday to Saturday, with additional trains in rush hours, and hourly on Sundays. The station has car parks on both sides of the tracks, a ticket office, car parking, bike racks and toilets. There is a cafe on the London-bound platform, open during rush hours 6-9:30 Mondays to Fridays.
