Cheapest way to travel

Applied to a few jobs in London so I just wanted to know the cheapest way to getting to each one would be. Theres no travel loan scheme so I am going to be paying for it myself.

1 : Corby to Canary Wharf
2: Corby to Machester square
3: Corby to Bedford Park,Croydon

    Shank's Pony - but that's not very handy for commuting.

    Do you mean every day - or a couple of days a week and work from home the rest?

    A 7-day Standard Class travelcard season ticket to London zones 1-6 is £224.50
    This will get you to anywhere in the London area.
    For about £20 less you can get the ticket just as far as St. Pancras, and then use Oyster or contactless, but I think even for a five day working week you would be better off with the travelcard season.
    That's a long old commute, e.g. depart Corby 06.38 arrive Canary Wharf 08.33!
    Much longer all the way to Croydon.

    I'm sure the OP will be wanting to spend nearly 4 hours in each direction a day commuting by bus.

    True, but cheapest often means slowest. Still faster than walking as suggested earlier.
