Back in the day when RRBs ran from Newbury Park to Billericay (maybe they still do, but I have been away from the area for 18 months), having tapped out my Oyster at Newbury Park, I could never find anyone to sell me a ticket to ride the RRB to Billericay.
In the other direction, joining the bus at Billericay was just a question of tacking on the end of the stream of train passengers and boarding the bus. Then tap in the Oyster at Newbury Park. Not sure what else I was supposed to do really.
In that case, I would suggest paying your fare on arrival at Billericay, assuming the booking office is open at the time. Although you would probably find it cheaper to get a ticket from Liverpool St.
