Default Complusory Bus Stops

Well, what is the current rule regarding compulsory (white) bus stops?

Up to a few years ago the rule was clear, even if frequently flouted.
LT publicity clearly stated that at compulsory bus stops all day buses
would stop without being signalled.

The word "compulsory" disappered from the stop signs years ago. Not yet
replaced with "pot luck" but should be!


It seems a bit of a stupid rule, really, and just bound to cause
confusion. Why not just make signalling for the bus mandatory at all
stops? No point in a bus stopping at a stop if no one's waiting just
because someone in an office somewhere has designated it "compulsory".
