A merged view of Highbridge and Burnham railway staiton from the northern end of platform 2. The present station is a small station served by local trains between Weston-super-Mare and Taunton is a shadow of its former existence as an important junction station between the Great Western and Somerset & Dorset Joint railways. The red-brick buildings in the background on the left are built on the site of the latter station, closed along with the rest of the railway in the 1960s. The reason platform 1 is significantly shorter is than platform 2 is that the SDJR route to Burnham-on-Sea crossed the Great Western tracks at an acute angle here.
