Sorry Hora, lost me with that one – are you saying Marsden is not ideal – tis rural and comes with its own railway station (MrsMM commutes to Bolton every day by train, we’re a 5 min walk from the station, there’s plenty of property closer to the station than us…), it even has lovely coffee shops to keep MsHora amused whilst you are out on the bike 🙂
Or is it that its too far out in terms of the M’cr / Todd thing?
Note – we’re not desparate for friends 🙂 its just this really is a great place to live!
Mossley is on the same train line, next station in towards M’cr after Greenfield, fringes of the villages are rural but those are the bits farthest from the station. After that you are into the M’cr conurbation….
Newhey and Milnrow are more what i would say were between Todd and M’cr (based on route I would drive there).
Both have train stations running to M’cr, and both are right on a junction for the M62 if you need it, Todd is in easy reach, only issue is rural bits are on the fringes so not exactly next door to the railway stations……
