Buses through Fishbourne

Bus routes connecting the village to Chichester and the coast

Fishbourne is served by bus routes that connect the village to Chichester and the western harbour villages. The main route passes along the A259 and provides a regular service to Chichester city centre, with the journey taking approximately ten minutes depending on traffic.

Stagecoach operates services along the coastal corridor, connecting Fishbourne to Bosham, Emsworth, and Havant to the west, and to Chichester to the east. The frequency varies by time of day, with the most regular services during commuter hours and on Saturday mornings. Evening and Sunday services are more limited.

The bus stops in Fishbourne are located on the A259, which is the main road through the village. The stop outside the Roman Palace is the most used, particularly by visitors arriving from Chichester. For journeys to Dell Quay, there is no direct bus service, and walking or driving is necessary.

For most Fishbourne residents, the bus is a secondary transport option to the car or the train. The rail service to Chichester is faster and more frequent, but the bus provides a useful alternative, particularly for those without access to a car. The bus also serves visitors to the Roman Palace who arrive by public transport from Chichester or the wider area.

Chichester Bus Station, the main interchange for the area, is the connection point for services to Bognor Regis, Selsey, the Witterings, Midhurst, and Petworth. From Chichester, onward bus connections cover most of the district.
