Farnborough North railway station was opened in 1849 by the short-lived Reading, Guildford and Reigate Railway, which was absorbed into the South Eastern Railway in 1852. It became part of the Southern Railway in the grouping of 1923. Immediately to the south of the station (and in the opposite direction to this view) there used to be a junction with a line, known as the Farnborough Curve, that joined the London & South Western Railway's main line to London. Today trains are run by First Great Western on about an hourly basis to Reading in one direction and Guildford in the other, with extra trains at peak times. This photograph was taken from the pedestrian crossing with a green light signalling that it was safe to cross.
