When I got to Manchester (at 19:00) I expected the last train to Luton to be at 19:47 but it was 18:47 :x . National rail gave me the wrong information so i had to get a Virgin to Northampton, a bus to Hemel Hempstead and a taxi from Hemel Hempstead to Harpenden Railway Station, here's what was standing on the fast, 66195 on a ballast train waiting to be called in:

Wow, nice trip - Grange seems an odd location to end up though!
