UK Railways Portal

North Camp railway station is situated in the civil parish of Ash in Surrey, England. It takes its name from an area of the nearby town of Farnborough, Hampshire.

The station is managed by First Great Western, who provide services on the North Downs Line from Reading to Guildford, Redhill and Gatwick Airport.

It is less than a kilometre's walk from Ash Vale station (on the Ascot to Guildford line). These railway lines cross but otherwise have no proper interchange. This is because they were constructed by two independent railway companies who did not think it necessary to provide an interchange. Holders of tickets for certain journeys have no alternative but to undertake this walk under the ticket's routeing, since it is the only reasonable journey, though disabled passengers and those accompanying them may make a sound argument under the Routeing Guide that it is unreasonable for them to do so, and instead take a more circuitous route.

[edit] Services

First Great Western provide services between Reading and Gatwick Airport. Typically, these operate every 60 minutes. There are also additional trains between Reading and Shalford (near Guildford) or Redhill, giving a total service frequency of approximately 30 minutes during Monday to Saturday daytimes between Reading and Shalford.
