Was the straight ahead signal still green when you crossed?

Title: UK Red Light Camera – crossed stop line from right-turn lane to go straight (straight lane green). Any chance to dispute

Hope this is the right place. I’m in England (UK).

I received a Notice of Intended Prosecution for allegedly failing to comply with a red light.

What happened:
   •   I was stopped at a junction in the right-turn lane, where the right-turn arrow was red.
   •   The lane for going straight had a green light.
   •   The lane markings between the lanes were broken (dashed), not solid.
   •   I indicated left, waited until it was safe, and moved left to go straight.
   •   As I crossed the stop line, the camera flashed.

The photos show:
   1.   My car stopped at the line in the right lane indicating left.
   2.   The next photo shows my car crossing the line angled left, going straight.

I did not turn right and the direction I went (straight) had a green light.

The notice says the recorded time into red was 91 seconds.

The alleged offence wording is “Fail to comply with red / green arrow / lane closure light signals – automatic equipment.”

Do I have any realistic chance of disputing this, or will it still count as running the red because I crossed the line from the right-turn lane?
