Do TfL bus ticket machines even have the ability to issue £1 singles

I'm fairly sure the original policy was that if your card couldn't be
read you had to pay full fare. However, there is the issue of
practicality surrounding that, and as such just waving people on if it
doesn't work when you try touching the second time is most likely the
most practical solution for both driver safety and for keeping
passengers moving.

Perhaps there is a need to make the display of whether a touch-in was
successful or not larger, and perhaps relocate it to be readable when
you've passed the machine?
