Almost unnoticed amongst the excitement of today's @networkrail station competition is that today also marked the release of Network Rail's new typeface - Rail Alphabet 2 - into the public realm. #RailAlphabet2 [1/11]

Things to note...
Rail Alphabet 2 is the third version of the typeface, after #RailAlphabet and New Rail Alphabet.
It is no inferior copy. Rail Alphabet 2 has been drawn by Margaret Calvert, in collaboration with Henrik Kubel (they worked together on New Rail Alphabet) [2/11]

More things:
Newly drawn, it is not and was never intended to be simply a digital version of Rail Alphabet. It looks similar to, but not exactly the same as either Rail Alphabet or New Rail Alphabet, and has been designed for use by Network Rail in the 21st Century.
