At least, I couldn't find one and I'd love to be proved wrong.
They did the same for Hemel Hempstead. The 707 bus route still stops in Hemel to pick up and drop off but not if you're going to/from LTN! So it's actually easier and cheaper for me to go to LHR than to LTN thanks to National Express muppetry. I've asked them why and got no sensible answer. They suggest I pay for a ticket to Milton Keynes and tell the bus driver I'm getting off at LTN. Bunch of clowns. The least worst option from Hemel seems to be parking at St Albans and using the train/dart. This is relatively painless. So that's a town of just under 100k population, 12 miles away, that can't reasonably use it's closest airport. Ridiculous.
