There are buses that are have a scheduled time of only 22 minutes from
Hatfield to St. Albans, so depending on where you're coming from it
might be faster or cheaper.

Probably cheaper, as it avoids doing into central London (well, London
at all). Not sure how much the bus is though, as I have a plusbus that
covers part of the area - so I've only ever paid £2 or £2.50 (can't
remember exactly).

Only word of caution is that the Uno bus service (602) isn't timed to
train times and I think it goes a bit of a weird route, via the
University (it is there primarily as a university bus that allows the
public on too). You might also get the 724 (?) Green Line coach as I
think that stops at St Albans. Likewise, don't expect it to be timed
and you may end up at the bus stop for quite some time.

On balance, it should still be quicker than the 21-26 minutes to
King's Cross, the walk to St Pancras, waiting and the train back up
(another 20 minutes if you get a fast train).
