It's always been like this since the dot matrix indicators were
installed in the late-80s.


Fair enough. But how do LT work out their minutes?



There was an old episode of Have I Got News For You where they read
out the press release about the introduction of 'next bus' indicators
at bus stops. It went something like: "Minutes will not always
consist of 60 seconds. Sometimes the indicator will say 2 minutes but
it will actually take longer."
