Is it no longer possible to buy a single bus ticket? My son has left
his Oyster card somewhere and is coming into Euston tonight - does he
have to buy a one day card to use the bus?

Yes unless he has a contactless payment card. A One Day Bus and Tram
pass is £5 and purchasable from a tube ticket machine.

Alternatively he could simply make sure his train ticket was booked
through to Dalston Junction - it is a National Rail station after all!
Obviously this depends on what type of ticket he's using but worth
bearing in mind as there's likely to be little difference in cost for
a ticket to Euston and one to Dalston Junction / Kingsland. It will
almost certainly be valid for use on the tube as well but worth double
checking.

His train from Wigan was late but he manged to get to Highbury on the
Victoria and then walked home from there, as the Overground was shut by
then.

Take the point about booking to/from Dalston - this just hadn't occured to us.
