The station, and all trains serving it, are operated by South Western Railway.

It is referred to as simply 'Farnborough' on platform and road signs, but National Rail and South Western Railway officially use the suffix[1][2] (though not on timetables).

[3] A 2011 forecourt refurbishment added two lifts to the platforms plus a new transport interchange with taxi rank, three new bus stops and a large bicycle shelter.

South Western Railway operate all services at Farnborough (Main) station.

The station has three coffee shops, a waiting room on each platform, a ticket office, self-service ticket machines, smartcard travel facilities and bicycle parking facilities.
