Felpham gets you online faster than it gets you to London. About 94% of postcodes have gigabit broadband. The train-commute share is about one in a hundred residents. Two in a hundred take the bus. The cable is brilliant, the timetable is somebody else's town.
On rail, there are three named stations in the area: Barnham, Bognor Regis, and Ford. All three sit in neighbouring places, and the village itself does not run its own platform. The behavioural read is in the commute data. Only about one resident in a hundred uses the train for the journey to work, which is the lived consequence of having the nearest station a drive away rather than a walk. On buses, the village has about twenty bus stops inside its footprint, and roughly one resident in fifty uses the bus to commute. The stops exist; the timetable around them does what coastal-village timetables usually do, which is run often enough to count and not often enough to plan around.
Broadband is where the village lifts its score. Gigabit reaches about 94% of postcodes, ultrafast covers the same share, and superfast hits every postcode. No address falls below the regulator's minimum speed floor. Mobile coverage is similarly thorough. At least one operator reaches every address, with all four operators covering all but a handful. If the work sits at the end of a cable, the village is wired for it.
For local journey times, the village sits about ten minutes' drive from the nearest town centre, eighteen by public transport, fifteen by bicycle, and just over half an hour on foot. The nearest primary school is roughly eight minutes' drive and sixteen on foot, the nearest secondary about nine and fifteen. The split of how residents actually travel runs about three in five by car, one in four working from home, and the remaining few across walking, cycling, bus, and train in that order. The village is laid out as if the car is the assumption, because for most working residents it is.
Connectivity in Felpham scores middling overall, around two-and-a-half out of five. Excellent broadband, modest rail with no station of its own, a bus network that exists rather than functions, and a road network that does the real work. Good for the laptop economy, less good for the commuter.
