Thanks for the hints!

Yes, the plan right now is to go Underground from Heathrow to King's Cross/St Pancras and then get an East Midlands train from there. They told me not to book a train in advance because I don't know how long airline/customs delays might be. I'll just buy a ticket for the next train out.

I've actually taken that train out of that station, many times. But it was 37 years ago and I'm told things may have changed since then.

Time passages
There's something back here that you left behind
Oh time passages
Buy me a ticket on the last train home tonight

I just remembered, I ordered a slice of pizza at the Camden Lock food court and paid with cash, so I did have some with me. I can't remember where I got it.

Looks like you can buy an Oyster card online and have it sent to you in the US before you go. Not sure how quick the turnaround is.
