It is one of two stations serving Farnborough; the other, Farnborough (Main), is situated on the South Western Main Line and is considerably busier.
The Reading, Guildford and Reigate Railway (RG&RR) was authorised in 1846 and opened in stages. One of the first two sections to open was between Reading and Farnborough, on 4 July 1849. Originally named Farnborough, the station was renamed Farnborough North on 9 July 1923.
Farnborough North is served by trains approximately every 60 minutes in each direction Monday to Saturday, and every two hours on Sundays. There are additional trains during peak periods on weekdays. The majority of trains operate between Reading and Redhill, with a few trains each day continuing to Gatwick Airport. A few trains also terminate at Shalford.
