The line runs parallel to the North Downs escarpment between Ash and Redhill. The South Eastern Railway which operated the line from its opening, ran passenger services on the line from Reading to London Charing Cross via Redhill and even today, the distances along the line are measured from the terminus of the former SER.

The line speed is generally 70 miles per hour, except for the approaches to Reading, Wokingham, Guildford and Redhill, which have a maximum line speed of 30 miles per hour. At Ash Junction (between Ash and Wanborough) the line curves sharply and there is speed restriction of 40 miles per hour (see map, right). Signalling is controlled by Wokingham signal box from Earley to North Camp; by Guildford Signalling Centre between North Camp and Gomshall; by Reigate signal box between Gomshall and the approach to Redhill; the junction at Redhill is controlled by Three Bridges Signalling Centre. The distances between signals in the areas under the control of Reigate and Wokingham signal boxes limit the capacity of the line.

The route is partially electrified (3rd rail, 750 V DC). Wokingham to Aldershot South junction and Shalford Junction to Reigate are not electrified ^[2] ^[3].
At Reading, North Downs Line services normally terminate in platforms 4a and 4b on the south side of the station, although access to other platforms is possible via a junction with the Great Western Main Line (see map, right). Trains could formerly access the north side of Reading station via an underpass, although this has been disused for some time. The access to platforms 4a and 4b is via a short single track section, which severely limits capacity. As part of the 2012 Reading resignalling scheme, an additional platform will be provided for North Downs Line services. The underpass may also be reinstated.

The service uses all or part of the following Network Rail routes: Geology of the South East, Chalk is light green (6) A cross-section , showing the Wealden Dome, and relating it to the towns of Kent The North Downs are a ridge of chalk hills located in south east England that stretch for 120 miles (190 km) from Hampshire through Surrey...

The main services on the line are provided by First Great Western using Class 165 and Class 166 Network Turbo diesel multiple units. Hourly semi-fast services run from Reading to Gatwick Airport and there is an hourly stopping service between Reading and Redhill. At Redhill the Gatwick Airport services reverse to head south along the Brighton Main Line. Before 1994, the stopping services continued to Tonbridge, however the line between Redhill and Tonbridge was electrified in 1993 to provide an additional diversionary route for Eurostar trains to continental Europe. Services on this line now run to London Bridge and are operated by Southeastern.
