Superbly, as long as the connection is made of fibre rather than tarmac. Nobody here commutes by train. Almost nobody uses a bus. Four in ten work from home and most of the rest drive. Wedmore solved its transport problem by not having a commute, which works beautifully right up until the day your job changes.
There is no railway station in the area, and the share of residents commuting by train is zero. Buses exist in the technical sense: 27 stops sit within the area, and 0.4% of residents use one to get to work. That is not a rounding error, it is the whole bus-commuting population of the Wedmore area expressed as a percentage.
How people actually get about is the more useful question. About 41% work from home, which is a striking share and the single largest category. Around 49% drive. About 5% walk and 1% cycles. Roughly 66% of households run two or more cars, and only around 4% have none. In a place where the second car is not a luxury but a logistical necessity, the driveway is doing more work than the front door.
The Department for Transport's journey-time statistics, modelled for the area rather than measured from any particular door, put the nearest town centre at about 22 minutes by car. On public transport the same journey takes about 51 minutes. By bicycle it is around 48 minutes, and on foot around 112 minutes, which is not a walk anybody makes and is a finding in itself: the town centre is not walkable from here in any meaningful sense.
The everyday destinations follow the same shape. A general practice sits about 14 minutes away by car, 26 minutes by bicycle, 34 minutes on public transport and 68 minutes on foot. A hospital is about 31 minutes by car and 111 minutes on public transport, which is close to two hours and the number that should give pause to anyone considering later life here without a driver in the household. A food store is around 13 minutes by car or public transport and 56 minutes walking. Employment centres run to about 38 minutes by car and 36 minutes on public transport. Worth noting that the public-transport figures in this dataset date from 2019, and rural services have been withdrawn since, so treat them as optimistic rather than current. The car and walk times are the stable ones.
The bus picture as it stands today is thinner than the stop count suggests. Of the 20 stops with published service data, the average is five scheduled weekday departures each, and none at all during the peak hour. Around 40% of stops see any weekend service. Five departures a day, spread across a day, is a service you plan a life around rather than one you catch.
Broadband is where the area quietly excels. Gigabit-capable service reaches about 84% of premises, superfast reaches about 92%, and not a single premise falls below the universal service obligation. For a village on the Somerset Levels that is a genuinely good outcome and explains the working-from-home share better than anything else in this answer. Mobile coverage is comprehensive too: at least one operator provides fourth or fifth generation service across effectively the whole area, and all operators cover about 97% of it.
Electric vehicles are the gap. The area holds one public charge point with two connectors, and none of them are rapid. Charging here is something you do overnight on your own driveway, not something you fit in while shopping, which is fine if you have a driveway and a problem if you do not.
Connectivity here is split down the middle and lands middling overall. The digital half is genuinely strong, the physical half depends entirely on owning a car and keeping it fuelled, and anyone who cannot drive should treat that as the deciding fact rather than a detail to solve later.
