It does appear they are refreshing the maps, so chances are not all of them will have one (I could be wrong and haven't checked every station) 1683187423 Edit, further exploration, and choosing random stations suggest...

    Railcards and leap years

    you bought it on the 20th, is valid from (and including) the 20th, it's irrelevant to the system that there was only 58 mins left in the day
