These can fail as well, of course.

But I agree. I don't see why London insists on being so backward.
Flipdot displays were crap, so I don't blame them for missing those

The technology might be OK if the resolution is high enough, but in
practice you get crude letter shapes with the letters g,j,p,q,y not
descending properly. If "backward" means retaining the elegant and
highly legible Johnston typeface, I'm all for it.
