Is the Countdown display equipment at bus stops really obsolete?


When iBus was 'launched', one of the arguments justifying the cost was that
as well as being technically superior (which it most certainly is), it would
deal with the problem that spare parts were getting increasingly difficult
to obtain. Accellerated removal rather than repair of knackered boxes
supports this, but I've yet to see anything 'official' - either way.
