    Whatever it is, it’s been severely condensed.
    You can tell by the thin up and down strokes and the fat horizontal ones.
    By looking at their site you can see that they now use what looks like Helvetica.

    Maybe the old stuff is just really squished Helvetica.

    John – I thought it looked like eurostile but it’s squarer and the ‘N’ is slightly different

    Jill – The style is completely different now from the old buses.

    This photo is from another website for enthusiasts 😮 One of these weird blokes is wanting the vinyls for his old bus he’s just painted 🙄

    here’s the other website, perhaps you might find the pics easier to look at here.

    OK ………… can see them now, my Zone Alarm was stopping me viewing them.

    I think Bank Gothic looks closer …………. I’ll let my customer have a look at that and he can perhaps compare it to another bus……….. rather than the poor jpeg
