Based on my limited personal testing, I suspect that they're
programmed to be tolerant, so even if their clocks are a minute or
two out, the passenger won't have reason to complain. In other
words, perhaps the peak actually kicks in at, say, 16:02 and stops
at 18:58. Perhaps not on the same system, but platform clocks now
seem to be precisely correct (they may have individual
radio-controls, just like I have on my watch and clocks at home).


This thread wouldn't have started if clocks were not inconsistent, at
least between TfL and TOCs.
