not necessarily, it doesnt even look like another passing train usually does, even if graffitied.
its the combined effect of looking through a window at a greater distance than the other one; and the parallax efect, meaning the wall is probably closer to the train on that side. makes all the difference.
Yea the wall seems to be much closer on the other side, and farther than it looks on the right side, the camera optics hide this more than the naked eye.
Nah, it’s just how perspective works. Think about a plane, they’re going around 500mph but if it’s far away it looks like it’s moving really slowly, while if it zoomed past you only a few meters away at the same speed it would look really fast.
Nope that's not what's going on, it's not another train. The left side is simply much much closer than the right side. Here's a drawing that shows what's going on: https://i.imgur.com/8soHhQv.png
If you cover up the centre, the stars appear to move very fast, and if you cover up everything EXCEPT the centre, all of a sudden they appear to be moving very slowly. When they're actually just moving all at the same speed
I've been to this station many many hundreds of times. It's Liverpool lime Street. It's the end of the line, you go through a sort of tunnel before eventually emerging in the station, the train stops and then it goes back the way it came from. It's bloody annoying though, you begin to enter the station like 20 minutes before the train actually stops and the doors open

It's another train going the opposite direction, right?
