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

Ian Brown - don't know. I thought Ken looked like a cardboard cut out.
The angle of the photo is very odd indeed - I suspect the photographer
was pinned against the platform end barriers!

They hold banner with text "50%% more capacity", but the picture shows
100%% increase :-|

Quite large: I noticed how slow they were loading... The first one is
"4952.73 kB (5071591 bytes)". Let this be a warning to people who
think it is cool to have an 8 or 10 megapixel camera: You get no
significant added detail, you just get a huge huge huge file that no
one wants. Stick to 4/5 megapixel.

You're right - someone didn't think it through. Or perhaps it is
deliberately misleading.

They are nice pictures, especially the one with Canary Wharf in the
background. They suffer from what I call Tales-of-the Unexpected
light, a grim sunshine that makes everything grey, like in the TV
series. If there had been some strong sunshine that would have been a
great photo, even with the portakabins.

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.
