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.

Yes he's got to get to Dalston. He's asked me to pick him up from
Euston at 11pm but I'm going to Pig's Ear beer festival so will be in
no state to drive.

He has just got a new debit card (HSBC) so hopefully that will be
contactless but I don't know if they issue them to students.
