What arrangements are made for Advance ticket holders including cross-london
transfer during a tube strike - would it be valid on replacement buses?

There aren't replacement buses laid on during Tube strikes (though
extra buses on regular routes are laid on) - the normal modus operandi
during LU service perturbations is that tickets for the Underground
are honoured on relevant buses (though this has to be announced first)
- I'd fully expect the same principle to apply on a strike day (though
perhaps there'd be less passenger-facing publicity about it, as pax
wouldn't generally be buying paper Underground tickets that day).

You might have to explain to the bus driver that it's a cross-London
ticket valid on the Tube, but I wouldn't be surprised if they just
wave anyone and everyone who can flash an in-date ticket on to the
bus, within central London at least.


If not, would a refund for any additional transfer costs be worn by the
relevant TOC/TFL?

See above. (I can't think TfL would refund you at all.)


Conceivably the increased transfer time could make it possible to miss the
booked departure.

It could indeed - I'd expect the TOC at the far end of the cross-
London transfer to accommodate you on the next service.
