Connected for living, not for commuting. The train-commute share is around one in eighty residents. The bus-commute share is the same. Just under half of Bosham's workers drive to work, and around four in ten work from home. The car solves it, or the broadband does.
The rail option is real but small in volume. Bosham has its own station in the village, with Fishbourne Rail Station, Chichester Rail Station, Nutbourne Rail Station and Southbourne Rail Station all on the same coastal line within a short hop. Chichester is the regional interchange for anything that involves changing trains. The train-commute share among Bosham residents runs at around one in eighty, which is a thinner number than a village this close to a city centre would typically generate, and it reflects the timetable rather than the absence of track. The bus picture matches that scale: around twenty bus stops sit within the village area, and the bus-commute share is also around one in eighty. Buses and trains exist in Bosham. They are not how most people in Bosham get to work.
Broadband is the part of the picture that scores best. Every Bosham postcode clears the minimum-speed standard for basic broadband. Full superfast coverage reaches every postcode in the village. Gigabit-capable broadband reaches around nine in twenty postcodes, slightly under half, with the remainder running on standard superfast rather than the top tier. Mobile coverage from at least one operator reaches every Bosham postcode, and nearly all postcodes have coverage from all the major operators. For the four in ten of Bosham workers who do their day from a spare bedroom, this is the infrastructure that actually matters. For everyone else, it is the infrastructure that absorbs the calls when the trains do not stack up.
Day to day, the nearest town centre reaches in about fifteen minutes by car, around half an hour by public transport, just under half an hour by bicycle, and just over an hour on foot. That is the journey-time profile of a village that sits genuinely outside Chichester rather than at its edge. A weekly food shop, a hospital appointment, a town-centre meeting, a school-gate run to a school outside the parish: all of those are car journeys for almost every Bosham household. Public charging for electric vehicles in the village area is limited to a single charge point with two sockets, and no rapid chargers, so any household running an electric car without a home charger needs to plan around that.
Bosham scores below average for connectivity because the buses are infrequent, the trains are thin, and the village sits a car journey from the nearest town centre. The broadband and the car make up the difference for most residents. Neither of those changes the underlying point: this is a village that suits people who work from home, drive everywhere, or have arranged their life so train timetables are someone else's problem.
