I am puzzled. Brighton and Hove Bus and Coach Company says it

has introduced "real time" display boards. I had assumed this meant

the timing was linked to the bus in some way.

At times, I let alternative buses pass and wait for a direct bus. When it is about to arrive, the details disappear from the display board.

Am I not noticing buses passing or is the bus company losing buses into the ether?

Maybe it needs to follow Michael Flanders' observation of London Transport - they stopped losing buses when they ran them in

convoys.
