***Highbridge (East) is the former S&DJR platforms which, at the time of closure, were effectively combined with the former GWR station, Highbridge (West), and referred to in Bradshaw's as Highbridge for Burnham-on-Sea. Technically, therefore, this station did not close with the route to Evercreech Junction. It is shown here as a closure to reflect the fact that there were once two separate stations. The present-day station is now called Highbridge and Burnham.
