Modestly, and mostly by car. There is no station inside the village. Buses exist but barely register as a commuting choice. Gigabit broadband covers about seven in ten postcodes, which is the part that does work. The peninsula was built to be a destination, not a corridor.
The nearest rail stations sit along the West Sussex coastal line, with Chichester as the largest of the cluster, joined to the west by Fishbourne, Bosham, Nutbourne, Southbourne, Emsworth and Warblington. None of these is inside the village, and reaching any of them needs a car or a bus that runs less often than commuters would like. Under one in a hundred residents uses a train to get to work, which is essentially the floor of the journey-to-work data. There are about seventy bus stops scattered across the wider area, which sounds like a lot until you map them and discover most are paired stops on the same routes. About one in a hundred residents commutes by bus. The bus network mostly exists for school journeys and for the residents who no longer drive, which is a useful function but not a commuting one.
Broadband is the part of the picture that works. Gigabit availability sits at roughly seven in ten postcodes. Superfast coverage reaches almost every postcode in the area. No postcode falls below the universal service obligation floor at all. For anyone whose commute is to a laptop on a kitchen table, the connectivity question is already answered before they read the price of the house. About one in three residents already works from home, which is what shows up in the journey-to-work data once a peninsula and a fibre connection are layered on top of each other.
For getting around in practice, the car is the answer to most questions. Roughly half of all journeys to work happen behind a steering wheel. The driving share is about three times the walking and cycling shares combined. A drive to the nearest town centre takes about twenty-two minutes, a public-transport trip to the same destination takes about forty, and a cycle ride takes about three-quarters of an hour. Walking the same route is a two-hour walk, which is the number that tells you everything you need to know about how the road network is laid out around here. There are three electric-vehicle charge points in the wider area, with five connection points in total, which is what the early end of a charging network looks like.
Average. The broadband does the heavy lifting, the car does the next-heaviest, and the train and the bus do almost nothing.
