Doesn't this discussion highlight the need for TfL to get itself
into the 21st century and start using electronic destination
information like the rest of the country? Then via points can be
updated en route to remove ones that have been passed.

As others have pointed out, electronic displays are not necessarily
better. I was amused to note last month that buses in Paris with very
useful internal GPS-driven displays of the next stop, time to
destination, etc. still use old technology to show the via points on the
outside of the bus. They have a long horizontal board slotted into
brackets on the left side of the bus, thus being visible to people
waiting at bus stops.
