I think you are partly unlucky - it worked OK for me this afternoon at
Aldwych - but there are well known problems with the Countdown system
which means that the displays cannot always be relied upon. I understand
a new system is being procured by TfL (it was certainly in the EU OJEC
process) - whether it's still in the budget and when it will be
implemented I cannot say.
