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?

E.

Yes - One Day Bus & Tram Pass at £5 (unless he's got a contactless
debit/credit card).

FWIW, a single paper ticket for travel on the Tube & LO from Euston to
Dalston (Kingsland or Junction), which I understand is in your vicinity,
would cost £4.80.

I recall Leon Daniels, TfL's MD of Surface Transport (which includes
buses), kinda dismissing the issue of not having an Oyster card on you
as a 'wrong trousers problem' (in a personal blog response to the
consultation on buses going cash free). Problem is, in real life
passengers aren't perfect and will occasionally end up out and about
'wearing the wrong trousers'. Anyway, it's how it is.
