Hi! When you get to St Pancras International, you need to look for the trains to Bedford. Essentially, it's the opposite direction to the Underground, so just walk a long way until you get to the end of the station, there'll be some ticket booths, and you'll be directed through a barrier and down some escalators to get to the platform. (You want the Northbound side.)
I strongly recommend you phone rikes when you're on the way to St Albans. She may well be *in* St Albans for the afternoon.
The bus you need is the 300 or the 301. There will be two stops for those buses, as some are going towards the town centre (this is the one you need) and others towards Stevenage or Hatfield or somewhere like that. If you've already spoken to rikes, she'll be able to say whether she's at my house by then or in the middle of town. If she (and possibly also KC) is ready to come back, she could arrange to get on the same bus you're on—or, if you're in the mood to look around town, just get a ticket to the town centre and they can meet you at the bus stop.
If the others are already back at my house, get the bus to Leverstock Green and ask the driver if he can let you off at the Greenacres stop. The journey takes perhaps 20 minutes from the station (depending on traffic). You go through a bit of St Albans, then through some countryside. When you start seeing yellow boxes (speed cameras!) at the side of the road, you're close! The first stop in Leverstock Green is literally opposite the end of Greenacres—and if the others are at home, they may be able to come and wait there for you, so you'll know you are in the right place! I'll unfortunately be at Heathrow at about that time so I can't make your life easier by coming to fetch you.
