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?

The reason for the difference is that the £54 is for a Standard Open
Single
while the £30.40 KX-Newark fare is for a Cheap Day Single so you are not
comparing like with like.

So what exactly is the difference? Do I get, for example, unlimited free
coffee with the former? It was on a Sunday, so the whole day is off peak,
and standard class is standard class.
