While browsing on the Internet for new fonts for my computer, I've found this by accident. Railway Sans is an open source implementation of the "original" (not the new one) font used on the London Underground. You can download it here openfontlibrary.org/en/font/railway-sansIf you want to know more about where does it come from and how the author digitized it you can go on the author's blog here typotech.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/johnstons-railway-sans-edward-johnstons.htmlIf a moderator could tell me if it's the right section to post this. As people tend to share files on this section of the forum I thought it would be the right place.

C - I think it is somewhere in eastern London. In the small bit of sky you can see there is docklands skyscrapers' skyline.

There are plenty of links to this file on this forum by might be useful for you, www.tfl.gov.uk/assets/downloads/foi/Rolling_stock_Data_Sheet_2nd_Edition.pdfThe front of the D stock isn't flat, it is slight curved as you can see on the car's top view in the drawings in the datasheet. I'm thinking about making a model of the D stock myself so I'm following this thread with much attention !

Northern line, it was my favourite line when I was small. Of course I'm talking of it without ATO. The district line in second position, but when the D stock will be replaced with S stock it won't be the same thing ...

Hi,
I am looking for drawings/datasheets of these trains, I'd like to try to model them in 3D but it doesn't seem to be easy to find it. In the TfL Rolling Stock pdf there is almost everything I was looking for excepting these tube Stocks. If someone have these for Q Stock (the older ones, not the ones with the exterior similar to CO/CP Stock) or Standart stock I'm interested as well !

Might be useful for someone, scanned from an old magazine, click on the image for higher resolution.

Maybe someone could repaint it ? It is not looking in very good condition ...

On the RER A, B & E the platform height is almost the same as in England (between 1m and 1m10) and the rolling stock on these lines is perfectly adapted to those platform heights, so this won't be a problem. The width might be though - I think the RER loading gauge is about 30cm wider than your typical British train. The French loading gauge is smaller than in a lot of European countries. It is 3150mm x 4320mm, I think the British loading gauge is smaller in height, but is it in width ? MI2N rolling stock have a width of 2900m, Z20500 is 2806mm but it has longer cars.

For the high number of passengers expected on crossrail, the MI2N of the RER A are more suited than the Z20500 used on RER C & D. The MI2N are almost identical to the Z22500 of the RER E, the only difference is that in the MI2N you have access to the upper deck from the middle doors. The tunnels bored for the RER E are of 6.4m internal diameter. Maybe it would be still possible to run trains of the same gauge as in France but I don't know how these 20cm will impact.
