North Camp railway station serves the civil parish of Ash, in Surrey, England. It takes its name from the nearby North Camp area of Farnborough. The station is managed by Great Western Railway, which provides services on the North Downs Line between Reading and Gatwick Airport, via Guildford Redhill. It lies 1⁄2 mile (0.8 km) from Ash Vale on the Alton line.[1]

All services at North Camp are operated by Great Western Railway, using Class 165 and 166 diesel multiple units.

The typical off-peak service is two trains per hour in each direction between Reading and Gatwick Airport. During the late evenings, the service is reduced to hourly in each direction.
