Grammar
From or away from?
Which of the following sentences is correct?
1) Our lovely town is located only 40 minutes from London.
2) Our lovely town is located only 40 minutes away from London.
If both are possible, do they mean the same thing?
If so, which would you use?
Thank you.

(1) is the usual way to say this. In this case, (2) is understood to mean the same thing. I suppose in some context it may seem that "away" emphasises "escape" or something like that.
