Farncombe railway station opened in 1897 as a minor stop on the Portsmouth Direct Line between Guildford and Godalming. It is said to have been built at the instigation of General Sir Frederick Marshall, a director of the London and South Western Railway Company, who lived nearby at Broadwater [Godalming Trust, Memories of Farncombe and Godalming with Supplement (1987), (p12)] .
The station lies in the centre of Farncombe, a northern suburb of Godalming. Nowadays it is served by South West Trains on the mainline from Waterloo to Portsmouth Harbour. It would have been served by the old Southern Railway.
