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?

The story I was told was they were designed to make customers feel
like they are getting a better service as people would not notice
the difference between lu and real time.

At East Putney it's the other way round. The sign says the next train is
due in 3 minutes as the train appears round the corner and enters the
platform.
