The Evening Standard said, the train travelled a carriage length, incorrect.

If you ask any police officer they will tell you that the number of
different and contradictory accounts of any event will be the same as
the number of witnesses there are to it. And none of them will be
completely borne out by CCTV evidence.

Some things are easier to corroborate than others. The number of coaches
inside the tunnel can be worked out pretty easily, if necessary by
counting the number still in the platform.
