Rail replacement bus services are however effectively free to holders
of Oyster cards.

In fact, they're free to everyone.

I've always wondered about that last point. Do you touch in at all
(and the touch in is "ignored" by the system) or are you not required to
touch in at all?

The Oyster reader on the bus is switched off. Anyone attempting to
touch in, or to show a ticket or Oyster card to the driver, is waved
away or ignored.
