Yes and no. I emailed the Oyster helpline about this a few months back
when Wood Green station was closed, and I took a bus from Turnpike
Lane. The reply was that they're unable to process refunds if the
closure "was planned, and advertised, prior to its commencement", but
were happy to give me my quid back anyway.

The closure at Balham is planned and advertised, but also advertised are
a list of busses to use instead. Certainly I would assume, seeing those
adverts, that I wouldn't have to buy another ticket.
