Did this really happen? No. No train other than train 204 moves. No signal changes colour. What we are seeing is an animation based on a single TrackerNet still showing train 204 at Liverpool Street platform 1. In the original still the number 204 would have been yellow but this has been erased from the still as we see it. The box with the black 204 is held in the middle of the frame while the doctored still is moved left. This gives the impression of train 204 moving down the track.

It is a fake. In war truth is the first casualty.

This is a genuine TracketNet image.
