Countdown out

Because of the recent bad weather, I have been catching the bus home from Barking station more often recently. A few weeks ago I noticed that 'countdown' displays had been installed - not new hardware, but that's not the point. On the last two occasions the display was giving out the useless information that it had no information about buses. Hmm. Tonight, I noticed that some standard transport tortured prose was in use: Words to the effect of "full information is not available."

More to the point, no information was available, whether full, partial or sketchy. I'm sure that the bad weather is causing problems, but if they don't know when the bus is coming, can't they just say so?
