Back when I lived in Sussex and commuted up the Brighton Main Line (sadly not a euphemism), the difference in time and cost between London Bridge and London Victoria was negligible. However, if you're coming from a different part of the country, the time difference is quite significant and the journey also possibly so.Comment

It also says that: "in practice, you should recognise [a] change of workplace [as a new location] in all cases exceptwhere the change has made no significant difference to the commuting journey".
EIM32280 - Employment Income Manual - HMRC internal manual - GOV.UK
We're all familiar with the usual examples (linked to in the above). Its always going to be something that a) requires you to make your own judgement and b) in the event of an enquiry hope that HMRC agree with your assessment.
IMO, in practice the effect on your journey depends as much on where you're starting from as where you're finishing up as arguably a journey from one point in London to another part of London could involve a "substantially different" journey if either end of the journey changes whereas a commute from Manchester to London would probably not be substantially different no matter which part of London you end up in.Comment
