Public transport in Farnham is also scarce. The closest railway stations are Saxmundham railway station, which is located three miles to the north east of Farnham, and Wickham Market railway station, five miles to the south west (in Campsea Ashe). Both stops are served by regular trains running on the East Suffolk line between Ipswich and Lowestoft. In the village there is one bus stop, served by the First Norfolk & Suffolk company, which provides a regular bus service to the village on a two-hourly basis. This route starts/terminates in Ipswich and Aldeburgh. The village is also served by two other bus services run by Coastal Accessible Transport. The village also has the de-trunked A12 road running through it, which official statistics show to be relatively safe at this point. However, a sharp corner at the centre of the village and overall traffic volumes - particularly of heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) - have historically been a concern for local campaigners calling for Farnham to be bypassed. Despite a 'four-village bypass' scheme being given the go-ahead in the 1990s, a change of government priorities saw this project withdrawn and subsequent attempts to re-visit similar ideas have failed through lack of financial support.
