The strange absence of a third rail on the eleven-mile section of the former London and South Western Railway route between Wokingham and Aldershot necessitates the use of diesel traction. First Great Western operate services on the line between Reading and Guildford with some services extended onwards as far as Gatwick Airport. 166210 arrives at North Camp station working the 09.04 Reading to Redhill service. North Camp station is located in Farnborough and is only a short walking distance from Ash Vale station which offers direct trains to Waterloo.
