Akzidenz Grotesk had earlier also provided the same designers the broad inspiration for the Transport typeface used for all road signs in the United Kingdom.

While Transport has since been an enduring success on road signs, it was designed around the specific needs of the roadside environment - such as visibility at speed and in all weathers. The subsequent creation of Rail Alphabet was intended to provide a style of lettering more specifically suited to the station environment, where it would primarily be viewed indoors by pedestrians. The DRU's rebranding of British Railways included a new logo the double arrow , a shortened name British Rail, and the total adoption of Rail Alphabet for all lettering other than printed matter [4] including station signage, trackside signs, fixed notices, signs inside trains and train liveries.
