Cossington railway station was a station at Cossington on the Bridgwater branch of the Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway, built to link the line at Edington with Bridgwater.[2]
Opened on 21 July 1890 by the Bridgwater Railway Company, it was located to the north of the village, and consisted of a single platform with a stone building and a siding. This was controlled from a ground frame, the hut from which is now on the East Somerset Railway.
The station closed when the service was withdrawn on 1 December 1952. Station Road leads to the former station site.
