Blooper in the London Underground slaughter

I'm watching this for the first time in HD on Blu-ray, and I spotted a mistake I would never have done on DVD:

The sequence where Gerald Bringsley is hunted and slaughtered by David on the escalator in the London Underground has a shot where a clock visibly says "Time Now 13:01" above the escalator. But that doesn't make sense as David was slaughtering people at night! So what's with the mistake?

I'm going to to take a look right now. I've seen this so many times and haven't noticed it.

Christ, is there any board you don't appear on?! Lol.

Continuity mistakes happen. People who post topics about continuity mistakes needn't happen.

It's a way for people to say "Hey look, I saw something, I'm superior. My eyes are awesome".

fk off.

That scene is very odd altogether - the man seems to walk for miles and miles without getting anywhere - it doesn't normally take that long to get out of an underground station.

That's what it's like at the station. It seems even worse when it's full of people.

Not a blooper. The clocks battery was probably dead
