I currently commute from Staffs into Derby central, takes about 50 mins but im in before traffic gets mad. Anywhere between is pretty good, A50 is a fast road M6 TO M1 and A38 is pretty good generally, again, time specific. Central to loads of riding, Peak, Wales, etc... decent ale as well unlike Scotland
"shardlow, Aston, Weston all nice too and more of a village feel"
the MIL lives in Aston, nice village, and there are some big developments planned in that area that will probably see Aston-on-Trent link up with neighbouring Weston-on-Trent. There are some nice properties in Weston that back onto the canal so nice for a sort of waterfront property feel. But to the more pricey end of the spectrum.
I am in Little Eaton good routes from the door over to ambergate etc and only 45 mins over to dark peak etc in the car. I don’t work for the obvious employer but it would not be a bad commute from here by bike and avoid the traffic along the river path.
