Below average, and that's the deal with this kind of village. Less than 1% of working residents commute by train. About 1% commute by bus. Roughly half the postcodes can get a gigabit broadband connection. More than a third of working residents work from home. The picture is a village built for driving, with a broadband network that does the heavy lifting where the public-transport one doesn't.
Rail is the weakest link of the lot. The train commute share comes out at well under 1%, which is the data's polite way of saying almost nobody in this village commutes by rail. There is no station in Henfield itself, so anyone wanting a daily train commute is driving to one in the wider area before the journey even starts. Buses are similarly thin. About 22 bus stops sit within the village footprint, but the bus commute share is around 1%, which tells you the network exists more for occasional use than for daily reliance. The combination of no station and a quiet bus network is the standard West Sussex village answer, and this one is no exception.
Broadband is where the picture flips. Full superfast coverage runs across every postcode in the village, no exceptions, which means the basic remote-work setup is universally available. About half of postcodes can also get a gigabit-capable connection if they want it, which is a respectable rural figure and the foundation of the high work-from-home share. The mobile signal picture is equally healthy: at least one operator delivers a fast mobile signal in essentially every spot, and all the major operators cover nearly the entire village. The digital infrastructure here is doing what the rail infrastructure isn't.
The practical consequence is a village where the car does most of the work and the laptop does the rest. Driving accounts for roughly half of working commutes. The nearest sizeable town centre is about 18 minutes by car or about 30 minutes by public transport, which is a decent off-peak car commute and a fairly poor bus one. More than a third of working residents work from home, which is the number that explains how a village this disconnected from the rail network has stayed an attractive place for working professionals to live. The two ends of that statistic, broadband at the top and trains at the bottom, are doing the same job: keeping people in the village all day rather than getting them out of it efficiently.
Below average overall, and not the section to read if rail commuting is non-negotiable. A village where the car and the broadband do the work, and the train sits mostly as an option for someone else to take.
