Highbridge station, or Highbridge and Burnham as it is now known, crosses the River Brue.

Highbridge and Burnham looking up towards Bristol, the platform over the bridge is narrower since a rebuilding of the bridge, 30/9/2013

One of its small tributaries crossed under the very eastern end of Highbridge Somerset Central/SDJR. On a grander scale Bath Spa I think projects out over the Avon at the down end. It is very close to the river at the other end.

I know they are not smal, but both of Sheffield's stations (vic and mid) have rivers under them.

Don't I know it I got caught in the floods about 25 years ago which flooded the station and led to us being evacuated by jumping from one luggage trolley to another

I don't think that the Thames can be classed as a stream unless you dwell on the banks of the Amazon, but there is Blackfriars station, that wasn't content to project from the north bank as in this photo

It now crosses to the south bank, with entrances on both sides of the river.
