Harpenden to Bedford with buses covering the gap.

Trains are running by me in Luton now.

Seems like Radlett - Harpenden is closed and being bussed - if they are
bussing it sound a little more serious a probelm that simply a scare.

Hmm, never seen that many GNER or Virgin services at Leicester...

Controlled explosion of an abandoned rucksack at St Albans City, I
believe. No news about it being a bomb, so it probably wasn't.
