The guy on the right, has he been photoshopped in, has he got an
oddly-proportioned head or am I hallucinating?


I have measured it and it seems to be 50% larger than a normal head.


That's because Ian Brown is nearest to the camera! It's a wide-angle shot
taken close to the train and the people, so you get that sort of distortion.

Re your comment in another post about 10 megapixel images: They do have
their uses. For example, in this case you can see from the shape of the dot
over the 'i' in 'capacity' that it's in New Johnston Book at a large size,
contrary to the TfL design rules. (The dot is about 20 x 20 pixels, at
which size it's possible to see that it has concave sides to the diamond, a
feature of New Johnston Book that is not supposed to be readily visible. The
rules say that NJ Book should not be used at larger sizes than 12-point.
New Johnston Light should be used instead.)

Great stuff. I'm a font fan so it makes a lot of sense.
