Highbridge and Burnham

Highbridge was formerly the point where the Somerset and Dorset's Burnham-on-Sea branch intersected the Great Western main line on a flat crossing. The S&D branch closed in 1966 and modern housing now occupies that part of the station but two sets of rail wheels on a short section of track commemorate the old railway. The surviving platforms enjoy a regular service of stopping trains between Taunton and Bristol.
