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?

Because it's not a rational system. For another example, there are
plenty of places where A B and C are in that order along a line, but a
ticket A-B costs more than a ticket A-C.

A conspiracist might suggest that guarding against the exposure of
examples such as yours is one of the reasons the useful part of the
National Fares Manual (viz, the bit *with the fares*) is not available
in 'electronic form'...
