The font is called "Circular", however the designers may have tweaked it slightly in places if they wished.

It'll be interesting to see the brand guidelines for all TfWM modes, I was just about to make an FOI request, too!

Thanks Tom,
I know what you mean, there are TfWM Brand Guidelines but only for TfWM and not their modes. It would be great even if Abellio makes them. There are some Brand Guidelines for WM Railway but they are older ones.
