Bason Bridge railway station was a station on the Highbridge branch of the Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway. Opened by the Somerset Central Railway on 1856, the station consisted of a wooden platform and buildings. A level crossing, goods yard and dairy sidings were operated from two lever frames, one at each end of the station. The station closed with the SDJR on 7 March 1966, although access to the dairy was maintained via a spur from Highbridge until 3 October 1972.
