Redditor notices slight historical inaccuracy in Assassin’s Creed Syndicate trailer

It's known that Ubisoft tries to go for as much realism in their Assassin's Creed game as possible. You know, except for the part where you basically plug yourself into a virtual reality device and live out your ancestor's life. But that's besides the point. The Assassin's Creed series have always attempted to be true to their source history material.

Redditor jsq spotted a British Railways logo on the side of a train which appears very briefly in the game's trailer. Now normally that wouldn't raise any alarms (and honestly, it didn't unless you were some sort of train enthusiast) but the British Railways weren't established until 1949, which is just over 80 years' time difference compared to Syndicate's setting of 1868 London.

A glitch in the Animus or an honest mistake?
