More expensive for same journey?

Travelled from Haywards Heath to Newark last Sunday. Asked for the
cheapest
way, and was told it would be £54. But when I got home, I checked prices
online and found that a single From HH to Kings Cross Thameslink is £15.70
and a single from Kings Cross to Newark is £30.40. Total price £46.10. Why
such the difference in price?
Shows that you can't trust the answer given by the staff in a station (I
presume it was at HH ticket office that you asked for the cheapest fare).
Given a question like "what is the cheapest fare from HH to Newark", the
ticket office should have searched for the cheapest combination of tickets
(not beyond the wit of a computer) and sold you the two tickets that you
mention.
I bet you're well ****ed-off that they sold you a more expensive ticket...
