platforms, giving it a splayed-out access route from the eastern platform No.1. It remained in place until 1 December 2013, when due to concrete cancer it was replaced by a new metal structure by Network Rail contractors. The main entrance to the station is on the town (western) side of the line and this gives access to the northern-bound, towards and platform No.2. The southern-bound, towards and platform No.1, can be reached by the footbridge or through the housing estate that occupies the site of the former S&DJR platforms. Both main line platforms extend south across the tidal River Brue, and are sited slightly below sea level. A loop on the west side of the line south of the station can be used by goods trains in either direction, southbound trains crossing over to run wrong line through the northbound No.2 platform to do so. This crossing also allows terminating passenger trains from the north to reverse here if required. Services The station and all train services are operated by Great Western Railway. The basic weekday service pattern comprises one train in each direction each hour, most of which operate to and from and , but with fewer services operating on Sundays. Location The station is located on the eastern side of Highbridge town centre, along the B3139 Market Street. Burnham-on-Sea is a further to the west. A walking and cycle route can be followed, mainly alongside the River Brue and on the approximate path way of the former S&DJR extension route. Daily bus services run from the town centre to/from Burnham-on-Sea while less frequent services operate to Wells.
