Default Transfer Ticket Issued

Observed 1744 on a 235.

I had been on a walk along the Grand Union canal (on topic in this NG
!) and had taken a 235 to where it started near Brentford Magistartes
Court. After Windmill Bridge/Three Bridges and a bar lunch at the
Plough, Norwood Green (recommended) we returned by Osterly Park and I
got a H28 (Tfl bus with only one door) from Tesco to where it
intersected the route of the 235.

I was intending to go all the way to Sunbury Village but it terminated
short at Sunbury Cross after a unexpected diversion, complete with
display "this bus is on divirsion, please listen for announcements"
which caused us to pass the BP Research Centre.

I had a National concession bus pass, so didn't care, but a young chap
who had paid the cash fare demanded something to avoid paying again and
got it. I congratulated him, left him to wait for the next 235, and
walked round the corner into Staines Road West to wait for the 555 at
its Sunbury Cross stop.
