I'd add Highbridge (Highbridge & Burnham) - with the loss of the Somerset & Dorset platforms, all the original buildings, and the adjacent railway works.
I remember being impressed by the original Exmouth station, with its 4 platforms and terminal building: the replacement building is okay, if dull, but there's just one platform - and it's 100m further from the town.
And, while it's on a preserved railway, I feel sorry we have lost the wonderful canopies on the station at Douglas, IoM. The one narrow-gauge station that really matched standard gauge termini.
Weston-super-Mare is reasonably intact, but the overall site is missing the adjacent 4-platform excursion station and sidings, known as Locking Road; although technically a separate station, it made the site quite impressive, dealing with up to 30,000 passengers on a Bank Holiday.
