Default Countdown and Bus Diversions

Scene: Eastbound bus stop at Charing X, evening of Thursday Nov 30. Bus
Stop is marked out of use with services diverted. (Strand was closed in
this direction due to a broken manhole.) However the countdown screen
showed the usual list of buses due and a number of hopeful passengers
believed this and were waiting patiently but in vain.

Can the screens not display more helpful information in this sort of
situation? (Presumably "walk to Aldwych for all routes" in this case.)
