Not trying to be awkward (well, maybe) but Ashton-under-Lyne isn’t
*that* convenient for those without transport.  Though better than
Oldham, it still suffers a little from Manchester’s great North/South
divide with respect to public transport.  If I were to go to Ashton, I’d
prefer early afternoon on a Saturday, allowing plenty of scope for
things going awry.  Early evening is ok, I can travel from work.

It’s easier for me to get to Macclesfield, I tried[1]. ☺

A much better halfway house would be the city centre.
