I also used "Ask Oyster" to ask what happens when buses or trams are taken
out of service when you have used Pre-Pay.

The reply...

As of yet there is no procedure in place to deal with buses or trams that
are taken out of service prematurely. You will still need to scan your card
when boarding a new tram or bus.

Which means using Saver Six tickets might be a better option. I wonder
if the bus driver would be happy to return the "Staff receipt only"
section when the bus short runs?!?


Cheers,

Jason.

Already tried this once before, when a s/b 70 terminated short at
Notting Hill Gate. Driver wasn't happy about giving me and my 4 friends
back our hexagons - and he gave us the wrong ones anyway (to be fair it
probably would've taken him ages to find the right ones, and a
continuing bus was waiting).

I was refused this once, even though my destination was clearly marked
on the front of the bus. How am I meant to know in which order stops
occur? Also it's much easier to see the number than it is to see the
small lettering informing the final destination,
