History

The station opened on 12 May as Privett Halt by the Lee-on-the-Solent Railway. It was situated on Privett Road on the B3333, which now runs through the site of the station. The name was changed to Fort Gomer Halt in October 1909 to avoid confusion with Privett station. The station temporarily closed to passengers on 31 August 1914 but reopened on 1 October 1914. It later closed again to passengers and goods traffic on 1 May 1930.[1]
