Burston railway station was on the Diss to Norwich line and served the village of Burston, Norfolk. Only the station building remains; the signal box has been removed and very little evidence of the platforms or sidings exist. A cottage between the railway line and the station master's house was also demolished.[2]
The railway line still passes through it on a level crossing.
