Rolling Stock
Most passenger trains seen at this station are formed of new Class 450 Desiro four-car units. Many Guildford to Ascot services are formed of Class 458 Juniper units. Class 444 Desiro five-car units are seen from time to time.
Up to 2005, ex-British Rail slam-door EMUs were used on the Alton Line, many of which were berthed at the carriage sidings south of Farnham station. The carriage shed at Farnham was built in 1937 around the time that the line was electrified.
The most commonly seen EMUs in recent years were Class 411, Class 421 and Class 423 units. These trains were withdrawn in 2005. A very small number of these EMU units survived to move to the Lymington Branch.

Famous quotes containing the words rolling and/or stock:
“The child is innocence and forgetting, a new beginning, a game, a wheel rolling on its own, a prime movement, a sacred Yes.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“In the case of our main stock of well-worn predicates, I submit that the judgment of projectibility has derived from the habitual projection, rather than the habitual projection from the judgment of projectibility. The reason why only the right predicates happen so luckily to have become well entrenched is just that the well entrenched predicates have thereby become the right ones.”
—Nelson Goodman (b. 1906)
