I was on a 24 on Thursday and got booted off at Trafalgar Square as the
route controller decided our bus was to turn at Westminster. There was
another bus behind running through but it was only when someone said
"do we have to pay again" that the controller instructed everyone from
the previous bus just to get on and not validate or pay. No transfer
ticket was issued that I could see. I think this aspect of PAYG
"policy" needs a little more explanation because a transfer may happen
at a point where there is no official to answer a question and the
first bus may have driven off.

I was on a bus (oddly enough a 24) some months ago when this happened.
I queried it with the driver of the short turning bus and he issued me
with a transfer ticket, the only time I've ever seen one in London.

(Slightly off-topic but I was always perplexed as a child that Midland
Red transfer tickets were labelled "Not Transferable"!)
