Farnborough North

Getting everyone home safely every day is a key priority for us at Network Rail. Level crossings are one of the key sources of risk, so we have installed a footbridge at Farnborough North station which will provide safe and easy access to both platforms.

The new footbridge was opened to the public on 28 March 2025, and has meant that passengers and pedestrians no longer have to use the level crossing to change platform. The crossing itself was closed to pedestrians on the same day, and is only to be used now by drivers after requesting authorisation from the signaller.

The crossing was ranked as one of the highest risk level crossings on the Wessex route, and taking it out of use for pedestrians has significantly reduced the risk to safety at Farnborough North.
