Busted train station serves the East Sussex village of Buxted with trains travelling on the Uckfield branch of the Oxted Line. It was opened in 1868 but goods services were withdrawn in 1962. The station house was destroyed and the second line removed in the 1980s; the second platform still stands but is now disused and overgrown. Buxted itself is known for its history of iron making and, according to local legend, its ghost. The town is home to Nan Tuck's Lane, named for Nan Tuck, a poisoner who ran into the nearby woods to evade capture and was never seen again.
