Before I call up for a refund, is this a situation where drivers don't

so humble opinion - this seems to be a particularly nasty London
disease.


I think it's sensible so long as an alternative will be along soon.
If London would do the sensible thing and make transfers free on all
buses (i.e. if you touch in on a bus, then touch in on another within
an hour, the second one is free) it wouldn't even be an issue from a
ticketing perspective, and would stop penalising people that are
already suffering due to the lack of a direct service.
